Retrospective information of individual cards per animal of information is collected from birth until the end of the milk production parameter during the first 100 days postpartum, a linear correlation coefficient analysis was applied, using the SPSS statistical package. Age at first service and at delivery not correlated with postpartum milk production, data subject to a statistical significance of (p>0.05) error.
