6 Fleckvieh Our Breeding Philosophy

7 The Fleckvieh Bull Strong and masculine with very good overall muscle development, especially at the forehand, the loins and the hindquarter. No excessive fat in the flank, brisket and tail. Balanced, convex shaped body without any extremes. Sexual organs should be well developed!

8 The Fleckvieh Cow We select for a balanced, hardy, vital and highly efficient dual purpose cow for the production of milk, beef and by-products, which can be used under all different global production levels!

9 Fleckvieh on grass Withers height: Rump height: Weight: Milk production: cm cm kg kg (10 times of its body weight) Mainly from grass Fat: 4,0 4,2 % Protein: 3,4 3,7 %, K- Casein BB, ß-Casein A 2 A 2, Somatic cells: First calving: Carcass weight: months kg R3 grading in EUROP-Index

10 Fleckvieh under mixed conditions Withers height: Rumpf height: Weight: Milkproduction: cm cm kg Fat: 4,0 4,2 % kg (10 times of its body weight) Protein: 3,5 3,8 %, K Casein BB, ß-Casein A 2 A 2 Somatic cells: First calving: Carcass weight: months kg U3/R3 grading

11 Intensive-TMR Zero Grazing Withers height: Rump height: Weight: Milk production: cm cm kg Fat: 4,0 4,4 % (11 times of its body weight) Protein: 3,5 4,0 %, K Casein BB, ß-Casein A 2 A 2 Somatic cells: First calving: Carcass weight: months kg E3/U3 grading

12 Fleckvieh- The All in One breed Fitness: 1 calf/year, Low Treatment costs Beef: kg SW/cow, Weaner: kg, High CLA, top ώ-6/ώ-3 ratio Milk Quality Protein, CLA, ώ- 6/ώ-3 ratio, Somatic Cell count, Vitamin D3 ß-Casein A2A2, K- Casein BB Climate Friendly: Reduction of CH 4, CO 2 and N 2 0 ha/acre The consumer friendly cow Milk: kg from grass, kg on TMR Soil Contamination: Low in N and P Energy: 5 /cbm of manure

13 The Dairy Cow of the future should look like a Olympic wrestler in the middle weight class Prof. Chad Dechow, Madison 2006

14 What is Type?

24 Genomics A good Breeding Tool with poor Implementation

25 Genomics Since 2010 in Fleckvieh (DW) Dwarfism Enthusiasm for this new breeding tool at Bayern-Genetik Selection from much more bulls at calves age Chance to breed better bulls with outcross pedigrees from unknown breeders Increased speed in breeding progress Reduction of cost Eradication of hereditary diseases (A) Arachnomelie

33 Genomics 2018 in Fleckvieh Eradication of hereditary diseases in a very good progress More polled Fleckvieh bulls available Breeding values dominates Type doesn t matter at all! Physical defects in bulls and inbreeding are rising! Paper breeding is a hype! Number of young AI bulls declines (650 > 350 bulls) Genomic results are really dissappointing

34 Breeders uniform mush!.open your eyes!!

35 Photoshopping Cheating farmers at ist best
