"The Norwegian Red crosses are amazing", says Vissers of Holland
The Vissers family at Ravenstein in Holland is milking 275 cows. Herd average milk yield is 9.328 kgs, 3.98% fat and 3,50% protein. The family started crossbreeding some years ago and are very satisfied. They are now a 100% customer by Xsires.
Vissers is milking about 40 Fleckvieh * Holstein crosses, and is very happy with them. They are now also milking six Norwegian Red * Holstein first lactating cows (4 daughters by Norwegian Red sire 5654 Olstad and 2 daughters by Norwegian Red sire 5723 Ølberg), and Mr. Vissers sais: "AMAZING!"
All six Norwegian Red * Holsteins are shown in the pictures, and all are above 30 kgs of milk (average 32.2 kgs, milking twice a day). They have calved within three weeks time, and the average age at calving was 1.11 year.
Now the family is a 100% Xsires' customer. «Because all the
time you gave me the right advice», says Mr. Visser!
