"For those who are not sure if ProCROSS crossbreds are suitable cows for robotic milking, I would tell them that today our cows have a milk flow of 3 liters/minute, which is higher than average!"
Ola Gård is an organic dairy farm and meat producer outside Uppsala, Sweden. Thirty years ago, Lasse started thinking about crossbreeding his cows. The idea was confirmed at the Dairy Farm Days 2012, during a talk on ProCROSS. For Lasse and Sölvi, ProCROSS has been a mainstay of their herd since that day.
The ProCROSS adventure started in 2011 at Skråmered Farm. Here, the 100% ProCROSS herd is now one of the most efficient in Sweden and has been ranked N°1 for yield in the area of Halland and number 3 across whole Sweden.
The herd was designated the most productive organic herd in the Halland area (western Sweden) in 2019. Performance results include 647kg more milk and +0.1% higher fat from the ProCROSS than from the farm’s Holstein cows.
