Smallholder dairy systems in the Kenya highlands: breed preferences and breeding practices by Bebe, B.O., Udo, H.M.J., Rowlands, G.J., Thorpe, W.R.

“…Farmers’ relative preference for GJ, AY and FR for high milk yield over hardiness was respectively 3.46, 7.58 and 17.63 times more when compared with preference for ZB. Additional attributes rated highly in the Bos taurus breeds were high butterfat yields, heavier bodyweight, unselective feeding behaviour in zero-grazing systems, hardiness and disease resistance in semi-zero- and free-grazing systems and high market value. …”
