From 2-way to 3-way crossbreeding
How much does it cost when a cow doesn't get pregnant in your seasonal calving herd? What if you could increase your conception rate, boost your lifetime production and reduce the costs and amount of work per cow?
VikingGoldenCross is a three-breed rotational crossbreeding programme combining our dairy breeds.
You might be already using two-way cross between Holstein and Jersey but when you add VikingRed as the third breed to a two-way cross, your cows will improve in reproduction and beef value.
The combination of the three VikingGenetics breeds gives you:
- Healthy, fertile, ideally sized grazing cows that are easy to manage and equipped to walk long distances
- A +9% higher relative conception rate compared to two-way crossbred cows in a pasture-based production
- Higher fat and protein percentages and a higher lifetime production
- A better dairy form and beef value by adding VikingRed as the third breed
