The aims of this study were 1) to determine if unadjusted hydrometer readings were associated with breed, lactation number, or season of calving, and 2) to determine if the hydrometer readings were correlated with 305 day yields of milk, fat, or protein for the preceding or subsequent lactation, weight of first milking colostrum, or dry period length.
