dc.description.abstract Milk yield was significantly (P0. 05) affected by calving age, season of calving and lactation length. Sire of the dam and year-season effect significantly (P0. 05) affected lactation length. Age at first calving was significantly (P0. 05) affected by year of birth. Averages and standard deviations for milk yield, lactation length, age at first calving; calving interval and dry period were 5653. 26±218 kg, 331±129. 69 days, 28. 8±7 months, 16months and 163. 2 days.
