What are the disadvantages of cross bred dairy calves?

Crossbred dairy calves cannot be registered on any breed registry because they are not a purebred.

This is especially true if the crossbred calves have a beef sire and a dairy dam, and are really only best to be used for beef production if they do not meet the needs of the dairy producer.
