Why select VikingRed? Healthy, trouble-free cows VikingRed cows are. • Naturally healthy Excellent health, fertility, and calving ease • High producing H ighest production of milk and solids for red cows • Trouble-free Resilient, long-lasting cows • Popular for crossing Boosts the health, fertility, and efficiency in crossbreeds ProCROSS INDEX Select your bulls for crossbreeding ProCROSS exclusivity ProCROSS, with 20-years experience in dairy crossbreeding, created a unique index adapted to modern dairy producers selection objectives: The PCR index. ProCROSS PCR index has been developed to make bulls selection easier when it comes to ProCROSS crossbreeding program. This modern index is focusing on the specific selection criteria of dairy crossbreeding. The PCR is a practical selection tool which ranks bulls according to their native index, ISU for Montbeliarde, NTM for VikingRed and VikingHolstein. PCR index will help dairy producers around the world to select the most suitable bulls for their crossbreeding strategy. PCR index objectives Using the PCR index, your herd will become: MEDIUM-SIZED, HOMOGENEOUS LONG-LASTING AND HIGH PRODUCTIVE REQUIRING LESS LABOUR AND VETERINARIAN COSTS Breed Statistics No. cows Milk kg (305 days) Fat kg Fat % Protein kg Protein % Fat + Protein kg NAV January 2022 175,000 (DNK, SWE, FIN) 9,837 431 4.38 353 3.59 784 1 index, 2 expressions PCR S Solids, Fat & Protein Production PCR L Liquid Milk Production All other traits are equally weighed in both PCR options Bull NTM PCRs PCRl VR Ferman 36 593 489 VR Vesty 36 602 545 VR Fuzzy p 34 566 491 VR Vimo 33 579 533 VR Heinz 32 580 498 VR Hunken 30 578 514 VR Vehmaa 29 568 529 VR Hakvin 28 554 540 VR Virkild 27 559 523 VR Uppura 27 576 531 VR Viski 27 551 512 VR Triad 26 544 508 VR Abin 20 555 545 VR Vilperi 20 530 516 VR Heeman 19 555 520 VR Fin pp 18 534 535 VR Venom 11 522 518 The expression of the PCR index is based on an average of 500 points, for the 2 index versions (PCRL and PCRs).
