German Brown Swiss

Brown Swiss = 50% Milk + 5% Beef + 45% fitness

Benefits of having Brown Swiss livestock:

1. The German Brown Swiss is a dual purpose breed with strong focus on milk performance with an outstanding lifetime milk production. The Brown Swiss perfectly balances milk quantity and quality. Milk from Brown Swiss cattle has high butterfat content (>4%) and is high in protein (3.5 to 3.8%) making Brown Swiss the No.1 breed for protein in Germany.

   The favorable composition of the milk protein, especially for cheese making, are considered in the breeding as well.

2. The Brown Swiss is highly adaptable to diverse geographical regions of milk production such as mountainous areas, extreme climates and forage conditions or tropical environments and as well adaptable to intensive systems, having originated from the European Alps, Brown Swiss adapt well to high altitudes and hot or cold climates..

3. Due to its robustness and excellent feed conversion Brown Swiss is excellently suited for grazing systems.

4. The composition of the Total Merit Index reflects the breeding aim of Brown Swiss. It sets a focus on milk performance and fitness.
