  Crossbreeding had been initiated and put into practice in various parts of Ethiopia for a very long time to improve milk yield performance. This review was conducted to review and generating compiled information on milk production Daily Milk Yield (DMY), Lactation Length (LL) and lactation milk yield of cross breed dairy cattle in Ethiopia. Review results of milk production performances in Ethiopia varied greatly from one genotype to another. The on station lactation milk yield, lactation length and daily milk yield were ranged from 1293.01 ± 23.70 to 2957.46 ± 72.98 liters, 298.68 ± 5.17 to 374.05 ± 7.24 days, 4.18 ± 5 to 8.70 ± 0.17 liters, respectively, whereas the on-farm review results were ranged from 631.69 ± 222.98 to 2705.43 liters, 241.65 ± 26.22 to 310.91 ± 41.83 days and 7.30 ± 0.16 ..
