Herd in Netherlands milking around 130 cows with robots and fodder is fed in large blocks, the farm is run with about 40 hours of labour per week.
Maybe not their best example of Fleckvieh cross cow (all the good looking ones were camera shy), these Holstien-Fleckvieh cows are out producing their Holstien herd mates.
Whilst the Fleckvieh cross cows carry a lot more condition they were no taller than the Holstiens in the herd (as I said all the good looking ones were camera shy).
No extra calving problems reported with the Fleckvieh calves.
Glad to see you saw some Fleckvieh crosses! Are you using any Fleckvieh genetics? And if so, where do you get it from?
