Q. What is the difference between Aussie Red and a Scandinavian Red (Swedish, Norwegian, Finish and Danish)?
Aussie Reds combine an extensive infusion of Scandinavian Red genetics with other Australian Red breeds such as Ayrshire, Dairy or Milking Shorthorn, Illawarra, or Red and White Holstein.
Scandinavian Red cattle descend from native cattle with infusions of Ayrshire and other breeds. All the Scandinavian bulls are selected in an exclusive progeny testing scheme based on extensive data of all economically important traits. A unique national cow data gives the possibility to select for fertility, mastitis resistance, calving ease, hoof quality, functional conformation like no one else in the world. This information has only been seriously considered in other countries around the world quite recently, but the Scandinavian countries have had breeding values on these traits for many years.
