	abstract = {Udder volume (post milking) was determined in high and low breeding index (HBI;LBI) Jersey and Friesian cows. The difference in milk production of HBI and LBI Jersey herds (2 to 4 litres/day) was entirely attributable to difference in udder volume. This difference was generated during late pregnancy. Udder volume declined during lactation; 35 to 40\% of udder volume at calving being lost by 20 weeks of lactation. There was no difference in udder volume between BHI and LBI Friesian cows measured at peak and in late lactation. Differences in production between these herds were due to increased udder productivity in the HBI animals (HBI, 2.0 litres/litre tissue/d; LBI 1.8 litres/litres tissue/d). Udder productivity in Friesians was 25\% greater than in Jersey cows at peak and in late lactation. Milk yield and udder volume were significantly correlated (P<0.05) in Friesian and Jersey cows at all stages of lactation. Genetic selection of Friesian and Jersey cows has resulted in more productive animals in both breeds but through differing physiological mechanisms.},

	abstract = {Fleece tenderness is a serious fault of New Zealand crossbred wool costing the sheep industry between $50 and $100 million annually. Wool fibres break at the point where fibre diameter is at its minimum and factors which influence minimum fibre diameter will influence the incidence of fleece tenderness, e.g. breed and strain of sheep, age of ewe, level of feeding and reproductive status. Tender fleeces are on average lighter than sound fleeces and often have other associated faults such as cotting and yellow discolouration. Variation in minimum winter fibre diameter accounts for only about 40\% of the variation in staple strength within a flock suggesting that factors other than fibre diameter may be involved. There are fibre structural and compositional differences between sound and tender wools of the same diameter and these may be associated with fleece tenderness. The wool producer can influence the incidence of fleece tenderness by the level of feeding during mid pregnancy but it may not always be economic to feed better. Choice of shearing time will also influence the level of fleece tenderness. A preliminary estimate of the heritability of fleece tenderness of 0.58 },
