Why Brown Swiss?

Brown Swiss: from Europe all over the world

The European Brown Swiss breed distinguishes itself by its quality productions. Quality means that its milk contents
are in ideal proportion, that milk quality and milk quantity are well balanced, that its k-casein BB content is high and its somatic cell count is low. All this makes its milk especially suitable for cheese production.

The European Brown Swiss breed is noted all over Europe for its longevity, functionality, adaptability, calving ease, strength, disease resistance and docility. The Brown Swiss breed is raised worldwide - 10 million head in all – but it is very popular in Europe where the highest numbers of Brown head are raised and top selective results have been reached.
