    Danish Jersey = VikingJersey

    Due to the VikingGenetics breeding goal, choosing Danish Jersey sires makes your cows more resistant to diseases, improves their reproductive capability and milk productivity, all at the same time. The Danish Jersey cow is well known for its extraordinary health, excellent fertility, high solids and functional conformation.

    These breeding goals are meet as VikingGenetics have a strong and carefully managed breeding programme for Jerseys. The selection is made intensively according to NTM (Nordic Total Merit). The number of registered Danish Jersey cows in their three home market countries is 70,000. Almost all cows are part of a milk recording system, and also their health status is monitored and recorded too. Therefore, their breeding is based on a large reference population with accurate data.

    Since Danish Jersey is above average in size, compared to the New Zealand Jersey population, they are perfect for adding a little bit of size to the smaller New Zealand Jerseys and their strong hooves are made for walking long distances. Danish Genetics is unique in having a breeding value for Hoof Health. This means we can breed directly for better hooves instead of using indicator traits like Feet & Legs. Danish Jerseys in Denmark produce an average of 650 Kg MS and are extremely feed efficient.

    The Danish Jersey is pure bred, and have 7 generations documented Jersey blood in their pedigree. Compared to the U.S. and New Zealand Jersey bulls, The Danish Jersey has an outstanding outcross pedigree.We offer a wide selection of bulls with outcross pedigrees to New Zealand dairy farms exclusively through Samen NZ. All Danish Jersey sires are pure Jersey seven generations back. This unique combination of Danish Jersey qualities guarantees your success and help you optimise the herd for commercial dairy.
