Peak yield and 305-day milk yields of higher grade crossbreds with exotic inheritance more than 50 per cent reared in a farm in Kerala was studied. The least squares mean peak yield and 305-day milk yield were 16.4±0.32 kg and 3437.6±88.92 kg, respectively. Least squares analysis of variance showed that year of calving and parity significantly affected the peak yield and 305-day milk yield whereas the genetic group variation and seasons of calving considered in the model were not significant factors affecting both the traits.
