[QUOTE="Sid, post: 6671767, member: 574"] There is a lot of hype on these Scandinavian breeds. Having been to both Denmark, circ 25 years ago and Sweden circ 15 years ago I found the Swedish red production and health traits to be on a par with the Swedish B and Ws. It's not the breed it's the breeds genetic history that sets it apart. Milk from grazing is not the norm in these Scandinavian countries, many herds only have loading paddocks in a similar vein to many US systems. Picking the right bull is far more important than just picking a breed IMHO. [/QUOTE]
