On the Breeds of Cattle—Historic and Current Classifications [PDF]
Classification of cattle breeds contributes to our understanding of the history of cattle and is essential for an effective conservation of genetic diversity. Here we review the various classifications over the last two centuries and compare the most recent classifications with genetic data.

Genetic benefits of genomic selection breeding programmes considering foreign sire contributions
Background In modern dairy breeding programmes, high contributions from foreign sires are nearly always present. Genotyping, and therefore genomic selection (GS), concern only a subpopulation of the breeding programme’s wider dairy population.
