viking
around australia lachlan mcleod ? calrossie in gippsland. having lived in sweden for a year when i was younger i had a bit of experience with red breed cows. i am using the viking reds
in a three-way cross breeding program on my farm in gippsland. the viking reds have signifi cantly improved my herd
?s fertility and overall health. i also rear all the bull calves and i fi nd that the reds have a very good growth rate and produce a robust steer that sells very well. greg anderson ? yarroweyah in north east victoria. i?ve just dried off my fi rst six s ross heifers. they are such easy care cows, they walk well, no mastitis and the best part is they all went back in calf with just one dose of semen. i like that. greg goulding ? cohuna in north west victoria. since i started changing my herd from a holstein to a red herd about 17 years ago, viking genetics have played a major role in turning my red cows into a fertile and healthy herd. toby, lyn and nick leppin ? bena in gippsland. the fertility with our reds is a stand out feature. last season we achieved a three week in calf rate of 76% and an overall empty rate of 9% and that was only with ai matings as we don?t use herd bulls. nick leppin 55
