- a legend has passed away v r cigar was born in the herd of jørgen helms, denmark, as the first calf by the r alfa cow 2228. he was born before the imple- mentation of genomic selection, but he was of course genomically tested when that was available. the result was ex- cellent and he was one of the first gen- vikplus sires in the beginning of 2010, and has been a daughter proven sire for the past four years. vr cigar has given a number of good sires and cows. for many years on he will set a foot print on breeding in vikingred. we all say thank you to vr cigar for his contribution to the red breeding. vr cigar is known globally and used widely. he started by setting a massive stamp on pure breeding and afterwards crossbreeding found him very useful. vr cigar passed away on 22 april nearly nine years old. vr cigar 11 june 2015 | vikingnews
