Today CRV informed all employees of a restructuring of the organization. With this restructuring, CRV anticipates on future market developments such as a projected decrease of livestock in the Netherlands and Flanders.

We are delighted to announce that CRV has officially launched a new subsidiary, CRV Cattle Breeding Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (赛尔威畜牧科技（北京）有限公司). This new office in Beijing marks an important step in expanding our presence in one of the world’s largest livestock markets and reinforces our commitment to the Chinese dairy and livestock industry.

Double W Ranger, the most influential Holstein bull in the Netherlands and Flanders over the past decade, was taken out of service today. Ranger was eight years and nine months old.

In today’s challenging economic climate, farmers around the world need cows that can produce milk and meat efficiently and effortlessly to achieve good business results. CRV’s Fleckvieh breeding program, with its strong focus on health and efficiency traits, delivers the best genetics to meet this need. Bulls that were already popular as InSire bulls have proven their worth again in this latest index run through the performance of their daughters. The breeding values of young InSire bulls show that even more can be expected from the next generation, with the quality of polled bulls also rising rapidly. CRV Fleckvieh Beef is the ideal choice for Beef on Dairy operations, known for exceptional beef quality, with ideal marbling and intramuscular fat. This rapidly growing segment within our breeding program in Germany and the Czech Republic offers PP homozygous polled bulls, all genomically tested for traits like easy calving, high daily gain, and superior carcass quality. With diverse bloodlines and male sexed semen available, we help maximize revenue from bull calves.

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.

In order to provide a rapidly changing market with the right genetic offering now and in the future, CRV and VikingGenetics will exchange genotypes on breeding candidates for the Holstein breeding program.
