tomas moberg (in the picture) and his brother björn from the rabbalshede
farm
in sweden are using all possible tools vikinggenetics has available to increase production and boost efficiency on their
farm
. a smart combination of traits depending on how he selects and combines traits, he knows he will get the desired offspring. he uses innova- tive management solutions to make his life easier. ?i am constantly aiming to get the
best
females. i use beef se- men for
cows
low in ntm (nordic total merit). i optimise the information from the genomic tests, which is one of the good things about using these management tools.? he has found that his efforts pay off, much due to the robust-productive cow he is designing. ?a cow that you don?t see, is the
best
cow, the one that never gives you any trouble?. picking up the fruits the work they have put in transforming the
farm
has giv- en excellent results. the moberg brothers have two of the
best
cows
in 1402 (vikingholstein) and 1403 (vikingred). they were born on the same day and have been flushed at vikinggenetics in skara at the same time. ?vr and holstein are similar when it comes to eco- nomics even if holstein produces a bit more. but the red
cows
will become a little bit older with better udder health in my herd, which i think is also the case in all countries,? he emphasises. his
farm
has also given extraordinary bulls to viking- genetics breeding plan; vr tophat ? a vr tornado son and vh omega, a son by d onside. rora 1402, (vh sparky x vh miracle) has been flushed in the vikingembryo programme. 17 march 2019 | vikingnews
