CRV bulls continue to deliver exceptional results for farmers, ensuring high returns under challenging economic conditions. Our breeding program focuses on health and efficiency, producing genetics that help farmers worldwide achieve high production efficiently and effortlessly. A key part of our approach is our FeedExcel breeding strategy, which focuses on breeding cows that produce more milk with the same amount of feed, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability. The latest figures from our bulls align with this strategy, showing significant improvements in feed efficiency and longevity, which are crucial for modern farming.

The index run of April 2021 confirms that consistent breeding for efficient and healthy cows pays dividends. CRV's portfolio has been strengthened and broadened with the addition of bulls that guarantee robust, highly productive and efficient daughters with high components, without any problems.
