"The Norwegian Red crosses have impressed us with their vitality and ease of management. The calves are spritely and healthy, helping to reduce our costs and improving overall herd health."
Dafydd Evans
"We’ve doubled cow numbers since 2018, and we’ve improved our business resilience with healthier and more fertile cows."
Will Clarke
"When I saw these Norwegian Reds consistently surpassing 100,000 kg in lifetime production, I knew instantly: ‘Ralf, these are the cows we actually want!”
Tanja Beuel
“We’ve found that adding Norwegian Red to our herd has really improved fertility, calving ease, and overall herd health—key factors that keep our operation running smoothly and efficiently.”
Ruth Kydd
"I absolutely love the Norwegian Red crossbreds—the resilience, the health traits, the feet, the udders, the milk quality, and how they fit our management style. It’s a decision we’ll definitely continue with."
Phil Lawton
“We used the highest ranking Norwegian Red sires for fertility for the first few years and made impressive improvements. However, now we look for more of a balance, and have used the young genomically tested sires who have made impressive gains in the past few years.”
Noel Griffin
“Since introducing Norwegian Red genetics, milk yields have not waivered apart from seasonal fluctuations due to weather conditions. I’m happy to target annual yields of 6,500kg a cow, to comply with slurry storage requirements. I don’t push for yields, but look for a balance of fertility, health, and production from good grazing and foraging cows.”
Conor O'Sullivan
"Norwegian Reds offer exceptional performance in our grazing system with their ability to maintain conditions while sustaining high production levels. I particularly value their robustness, strong fertility, and overall adaptability to our farming practices."
Bart Luitjen
"The significant factors include fertility, excellent mastitis control, low cell counts, and feed efficiency. In our three-way cross system, Norwegian Red has truly given us the strength and depth we aimed for, crucial for optimal performance with the feed we provide – it's been key to our success."
Shane Fitzgerald
"The addition of Norwegian Reds has made a real difference. Fertility, longevity, and calf figures have all improved, resulting in healthier and more productive cows."
