The breeding goal
The aim is to breed an unproblematic, fit and strong mother cow that produces a valuable calf each year that can be fattened well.
For more see >>Breeding scheme
In the daily management of my suckler cow herd and in breeding decisions, animal welfare takes on a decisive importance, which is reflected in the “happy lines” >>more
My philosophy
Cattle do not compete with humans in terms of nutrition. The focus is on the utilisation of green fodder, the aim is to achieve a very good basic fodder utilisation.
Beef from grass – not beef from grain.
A breeding focus is the “genetic connection” to the dual use of beef cattle, so that synergies can be used, see >>Breeding scheme.
This is what sets me apart from many of my competitors.
My advice
I am happy to advise you on the impact of animal welfare on increasing economic success.
Success depends on extensive factors such as:
Feeding, animal-friendly husbandry, professional animal care, timely herd separation, parasite control, proper birth care …
