Breed Attributes
Brown Swiss are low-maintenance, high producing, adaptable cows that live a long time and make money for dairy producers.
High Production
Brown Swiss yield large volumes of milk with high components, boasting an ideal fat-to-protein ratio for cheese-making. For this reason, Brown Swiss producers often receive more money per 100 pounds of milk than owners of other breeds. A low somatic cell count also contributes to the demand for Brown Swiss cattle. The average 305d ME for Brown Swiss is 23,090 pounds of milk,
935 pounds of fat, and 767 pounds of protein.
Adaptability & Longevity
Brown Swiss withstand both hot and cold climates and thrive in a variety of terrains and management systems. Their longevity, dairy strength, and outstanding feet and legs make Brown Swiss cattle the obvious choice for modern dairy farms.
