I would be honored if you could give me a few of those hundred reasons you spoke of. Until then there is nothing special about Holsteins other then the amount of liquid they can produce. My dairy was strictly Holstein at one point but it now is about 75% Swiss, 12% Jersey and 12% Holstein. Any breed that is pure bred is going to have some issues because you are concentrating the strengths as well as the weaknesses found in that breed. There is alot to be said for the hybrid vigor you get when you cross breed. The great thing about Swiss cows is that they have the ability to make darn near the same amount of milk production as a Holstein. They do have higher components and with the pricing structure we use now, it does pay to use the higher component breeds. The way that Swiss really shine is in a grazing environment. I do not even have a barn to keep the cattle in, they are outdoors 365 and do amazing. I have seen summer days where the holstein were standing in the shade literally panting, and you look out to the swiss who are out grazing, not bothered nearly as much by the heat.
