Norwegian Red is at the forefront of polled genetics, offering a solution that significantly improves animal welfare. Polled animals are naturally hornless, which eliminates the need for dehorning, a practice that can cause pain and stress for the animal. By prioritizing polled genetics, we not only
enhance the comfort and safety of the cattle but also reduce risks for farm workers handling them.

Polled genetics is an important step toward more humane and sustainable farming. Norwegian Red’s strong focus on breeding hornless cattle demonstrates our commitment to innovation in welfare's driven genetics, giving farmers healthier animals and creating safer, more manageable herds.
