- best for economy and longevity in this issue of vikingnews there is a comparison between vikingholstein and other holstein populations in the world. if we look at the total merit index (ntm) and longevity, the picture is clear ? vikingholstein has far higher level - and the same goes for the other two breeds. all cattle breeders in the viking area can proudly say that they have contributed to this ? and take advantage every single day. the global trend in breeding is a healthier and more fertile
cow
. therefore, our product gains global popularity, as many dairy farmers demand a
cow
that is healthy and fertile. with genomic selection, the speed of genetic gain is high- er than ever before ? and the ntm combines all the economic traits into one. still the goal is a
cow
that can produce lots of quality milk and stay healthy year after year. we recently got a photo of a viking bred
cow
in argentina with a lifetime production over 112,000 kg and 12 lactations - that is excellent in a pasture-based system. she was the second best
cow
in the region with 50,000 primarily holstein
cow
s
and herself being a vikingred. another viking customer in spain says that having 100% viking
cow
s in the barn, life quality has improved significantly, due to less problems with his
cow
s ? and less work. that is the
cow
s we like and that is the type of
cow
s we aim for in
