CONTIGO: the Swiss success story with international reach

🔗CONTIGO is not about promises, but a story that stands up. CRESTA as the foundation, FLORA as a reference cow and sisters that complete the picture. The result is real pull in export markets and progeny that are delivering in multiple countries.

CONTIGO has a profile breeders like

🔗CONTIGO joined the Swissgenetics Holstein programme in early 2025 with a clear message: dairy production, positive components and conformation that works in practice. His international profile is particularly appealing, with a pedigree free from LAMBDA, CHIEF, ALLIGATOR and SIDEKICK. He also leads the rankings for both TPI and LPI. At the moment, he is the only bull in Canada to combine an LPI of 3,932 with + 12 for mammary system and + 11 for conformation.

CRESTA, FLORA… and a breeder who puts a face to the figures

The success of a bull never comes out of nowhere. For CONTIGO, it is built on a strong dam, B.O.A. Augustus CRESTA, classified VG-86 with a VG-88 mammary system and more than 12,000 kg of milk in her second lactation. In 2025, Adrian Haldimann and Olivier Ruprecht from the B.O.A. Group showed a real working cow that performs in her own environment.

Daughters that are performing in several countries

Daughters are what take a bull to the next level. In Germany, Contigo FLORA reached 4,146 GLPI and + 9 for conformation in September 2025. She has been named the highest GLPI CONTIGO daughter in Europe and stands seventh among heifers worldwide. 🔗CONTIGO is showing that he sires what he promises: daughters that make their mark internationally. In Italy, Sabbiona 14, and in France, Capj ADELE, add to that record, both over 4,000 LPI and + 13 for conformation!

His sisters complete the picture

A bull really becomes interesting when the family proves it can deliver performance time after time. On the sister side, the family around 🔗CONTIGO gives exactly this sense of strength:

• B.O.A. Ranger CARAMBA VG-86 (L1) – 6th milk recording: 28.8 kg – first at the Red Holstein Night
• B.O.A. Rebel CARIBBEAN (G+83, L1)
• B.O.A. Dynasty CAUMA (G+84, L1)
• B.O.A. Gordon CONCORDE

🔗CONTIGO is more than a bull that performs well. He reflects what breeders are looking for: a complete profile, standout daughters confirming him in several countries and a family story that every breeder can relate to. That is the difference between a name you notice once and a sire that breeders keep using all over the world.
