FLECKVIEH
SIRE SUMMARY AUGUST 2026
FLECKVIEH HISTORY OF THE BREED The success story of Fleckvieh/Simmental started in 1459 in the Bernese Upland (Alp’s area, Switzerland) – Simmental means Simmen valley. The goal was to breed an adaptable, robust and high-performing animal (milk, beef, traction power). Middle of the 18th century more than 5,000 Fleckvieh animals were exported each year (inc. St. Petersburg in Russia). Between 1830 and 1840 extensive Fleckvieh cattle imports took place to Germany & Austria. The biggest Fleckvieh population in the world is in Germany, with more than 700,000 herdbook cows and approximately 1.2 M first inseminations. In 2011 genomic selection started.
QUALITY OF THE BREED Fleckvieh are highly valued worldwide due to its outstanding suitability as a dual-purpose breed. In addition to the high milk yield and milk components, the sale of male calves for fattening is a significant income factor. Fleckvieh offers milk, beef and fitness on the highest level. The requirement for polled is also becoming increasingly important and almost 50% of all first inseminations are now done with semen from polled bulls. The Fleckvieh breed adapts perfectly to all farming systems worldwide - intensive, extensive, grazing and organic, which offers a great flexibility under various market conditions. Furthermore, Fleckvieh is excellently suited for crossbreeding with other dairy breeds. Average Milk Production Level Fleckvieh (Germany, herdbook cows in 2022, 305 days) 8,106 kg Milk 4.17 % Fat 338 kg Fat 3.50 % Protein 283 kg Protein
BREEDING PROGRAM & TOTAL MERIT INDEX GZW The Total Merit Index GZW (German: Gesamt Zucht Wert) shows very well the weighting of the main traits for which the Fleckvieh breed stands. GZW 100% = 38% Milk + 18% Beef + 44% Fitness Data from more than 2,000,000 cows from 5 countries and the genomic profiles of more than 160,000 cows are currently used in the dairy breeding value estimation, and from over 260,000 males for the beef values.
