Similarly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/dairy-crossbreeding\/crossbreeding-nr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Norwegian Red<\/a> helps correct the weaknesses in health and fertility that come with the Holstein breed.

Although this is a straightforward procedure, many producers make the mistake of breeding a Holstein to a Jersey if the animal looks like a Holstein, and vice versa.
