International Catalogue 2027
Breeding means making the decisions today that shape the herds of tomorrow. What matters is a clear breeding strategy, a passion for cattle breeding, and high-performing, economically efficient animals. Our broad portfolio includes breeds and sires to suit every breeding goal. Born in the Alps. Built for the world.

Swissness – a recognised promise of quality
The cover image of the new catalogue captures what Swissgenetics stands for. Switzerland’s diverse farming conditions have shaped a versatile cattle-breeding tradition over generations. Each farm follows its own strategy, tailored to its location and operating conditions – whether in the Swiss Alps with their challenging production conditions, in the fertile valleys with their excellent forage base, or in the diverse hill and Alpine foothill regions.
The right genetics for every breeding goal
It is precisely this diversity that has become one of our greatest strengths: Today, Swissgenetics can offer the right genetics for a wide range of production systems and farm requirements. While Holstein, Red Holstein and Brown Swiss are bred for high milk performance, Simmental, Swiss Fleckvieh and Original Braunvieh combine milk and beef performance in versatile dual-purpose cows. This broad genetic offering is complemented by Angus, Simmental Beef, Limousin and Original Braunvieh Beef for beef production.
However different the farms, their conditions and their breeding goals may be, Swissgenetics can provide the right genetics for every farming environment and every breeding philosophy.
