Independent Tests Prove the Efficiency of Braunvieh for Growth, Maternal and Feedlot Profitability

In various tests made all over the world, the Braunvieh cattle showed its excellent competitive position. The U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, Nebraska, for instance, showed in a comparative test that Braunvieh crossbreds established themselves by comparison with contemporary breeds as the best balanced breed in the test from calving to carcass. The calving ease, early puberty, fertility, milk production, efficiency and growth ability are vital economic traits that Braunvieh offers to the profit conscious cowman searching for superior cow herd productivity.

Early maturity and growth ensures more pregnant females. The four graphs below prove that Braunvieh females, compared with the leading European and English crossed females excel in these vitally important economic traits.
