Here we present two VikingBeef bulls suitable for beef on dairy. They have very good NBDI (Nordic Beef on Dairy Index) values. When beef bulls are used on Dairy cows, the most important trait is Calving ease, then comes Calf viability and then the Growth potential. Both selected sires here are very popular for use on dairy cows due to their good genetic traits.
