a fairy tale t here are 12 cows in the
herd
nivala in pudasjärvi, northern finland, and the owners are arto and eija hinkula. since finland joined vikinggenetics in 2010, six bull calves have been tested from the
herd
, and four of them purchased. the most famous so far from the small
herd
is vr faabeli and the other three are vr tempus, vr fenkoli and vr pasuuna. every one of them is out of differ- ent dams, three of them from the same cow family though. the breeders have genomically tested the bulls and heifer calves, that have been picked by vikinggenetics. this shows that a good genomic result is not dependent on size of the
herd
, but depends on using the best bulls to the best cows. but for sure, this story is a real fairy tale and a huge success for the farm! vr faabeli ? one of the four bulls that have been bought by vikinggenetics from the 12-cow
herd
in northern finland. 17 is in average 10,291 kg milk with 4.0% fat and 3.4% protein, and lifetime production is so far 77 tons! her grand dam calved four times and produced 50 tons and great grand dam calved six times and produced 57 tons!
