Born from the DONALD x Edual LISA line, LINUS-LINTH offers a remarkably balanced breeding pattern. His dam, Edual LISA EX-92 (udder 94), produced more than 43,800 kg of milk over six lactations. LINUS-LINTH promises outstanding udder health (SCC index 123) like her. True to Swiss farming heritage, LISA spent every summer on alpine pastures – robustness and persistence that LINUS-LINTH now passes on to his offspring.

With a total merit index (TMI) of 1314, a fitness index (FI) of 123, and a pasture breeding value (PBV) of 138, LINUS-LINTH clearly takes the lead for fitness and sustainability. Key strengths include:
✔ Exceptional daughter fertility (115)
✔ Extended herd life (114)
✔ Outstanding udder health (123)
✔ Calving ease (104) and solid calf vitality (102)

On the production side, he combines +298 kg milk with strong components (+0.16% fat and +0.02% protein) with kappa-casein BB genotype.

In terms of conformation, LINUS-LINTH stands out with an excellent udder profile (128, rear udder height 135, udder floor 130), and outstanding hock quality (122). This makes him a reliable choice for breeders aiming at functional cows adapted to both intensive grazing and alpine systems.

In short, LINUS-LINTH embodies the very best of Original Braunvieh: alpine strength, cheese-making ability, and longevity. A sire shaped in the mountains – ready to improve herds worldwide.
