Abstract: A total of 13 Sahiwal breed and 12 Jersey x Red Sindhi crossbred heifers were studied for their comparative performance in agro-climatic zone-II of Himachal Pradesh. The means of age at first successful conception (AFSC), age at first calving (AFC), birth weight of calves (BWC), first service period (FSP), first calving interval (FCI), first lactation length (FLL), and first lactation milk yield (FLMY) were 1190.20±52.78 days, 1462.44±57.87 days, 21.50 ±0.21kg, 193.40±18.50 days, 441.45±28.00 days, 242.20±21.64 days, and 1171.16±173.40 litres in Sahiwal and 1239.30±38.26 days, 1521.22±43.00 days, 24.50±0.35 kg, 92.28±18.74 days, 393.60±21.32 days, 287.40±20.49 days, and 1736.83±72.13 days in Jersey x Red Sindhi crossbreds. The results showed that the Jersey x Red Sindhi crossbreds were better performers, having better disease resistance than the Sahiwal breed in the study area.
