Ing. Reinhard Pfleger - Director Fleckvieh Austria
The aim of Fleckvieh breeders in Austria is to think and breed holistically and sustainably. That is why we would like to introduce you to these exceptional six Fleckvieh cows from Austria, which can combine the following remarkable achievements:
- A total lifetime yield of at least 100,000 kilograms of milk – a standard that is common in cattle breeding worldwide and is synonymous with sustainable performance.
- A total lifetime yield of at least eight tonnes (8T) of fat and protein. The amount of fat and protein is our actual selection criterion for milk and thus also the ranking criterion for lifetime yield. In Fleckvieh breeding, we deliberately focus on high protein and fat content in the milk.
- The special advantage of Fleckvieh cattle is the so-called 'double effect': the naturally elegant muscling of our cows not only stabilises them, but also ensures that purebred animals can produce beef of the best quality and quantity in addition to their milk. Every calf, whether male or female, that is not used for breeding is therefore ideally suited for the production of beef.
