Better job satisfaction and higher profits
Wim and Wouter Wijnhout milk 207 ProCROSS cows at their farm, De Kleine Tichelhof, in Wijhe, Overijssel, Netherlands. For many years, their herd has produced well over 12,000 kg of milk per cow with high components.
ProCROSS is a 3-breed rotational crossbreeding concept that combines VikingHolstein, VikingRed, and Coopex Montbéliarde. This gives them cows with superior fertility, excellent longevity, and higher lifetime production that translate into outstanding results:
- 36 cows have produced 100,000+ kg of milk
- 3 have given 10,000+ kg of fat and protein
This is possible thanks to good management, lower cow mortality, and high-performance ProCROSS cows.
"The better health and fertility of our ProCROSS cows helps us achieve significantly higher figures than the national average. More importantly, our job satisfaction is better than ever. We get less stress from our cows and have more room to develop the farm further," says Wouter.
