Efficiency and health remain the cornerstones of our Fleckvieh (FV) breeding philosophy. By focusing on balanced performance traits and long-term sustainability, we continue to deliver genetics that support modern dairy and beef production. Our breeding goal centers on cows that provide sufficient milk and components, combined with excellent exterior—particularly in feet and legs and udder quality—while also maintaining strong beef performance. Equally important are traits that ensure cows are easy to manage throughout their entire lifetime. This includes robust health, improved udder health, strong longevity, and highly fertile daughters. Together, these core elements define the unique strengths of our FV program and set our genetics apart.
