Milk recording data indicates the importance of fertility, including age at first calving, on the progression of first lactation cows to second lactation.
Dairy farmers do not recoup the rearing costs incurred from birth to first calving until second lactation but varying proportions of first lactation cows are removed from the herd before second calving. Herein, we used milk recording data to examine the outcomes and performance of first lactation co...
