In interaction terms, taller cows had higherDMP than shorter cows, whereas heifers (first parity cows) had similar DMP regardless of height. Also,thin cows (2+ parity with body condition score < 2.5 out of 5) produced less milk (1.0 kg/day less) thancows with a better body condition score at calving,whereas thin heifers produced more milk (2.0 kg/daymore) than heifers in better body condition—this association is possibly due to a small unrepresentativesample size of heifers
