28 Aug 2023 - August Proofs 2023
The August 2023 proof run has come, and with it, we present to you our latest world-class Red, Jersey, and Holstein sires added to our selection, including VR Venom - the UK's #1 Ayrshire bull!
These bulls will breed healthy, profitable, trouble-free cows for generations! Even better, X-Vik sexed semen is available for all of them.

The August 2023 proofs were very positive for VikingRed, with excellent results across the board. VikingRed bulls give you healthy, trouble-free cows with high reliability, making them an excellent choice for crossbreeding.
The UK’s #1 Proven Ayrshire
VR Venom is the leading Ayrshire bull in the UK, with an impressive PLI of £496. Thanks to his excellent daughter fertility, he ranks highly for HealthyCow (195) and offers good indexes for milk solids production and SCC.
Three Generations of Top Genetics
The August 2023 proofs also gave us a unique occurrence as, for the first time, there are three generations of VikingRed bulls in our daily selection: VR Ulvar, VR Uppura, and VR Vimo.
Genetic progress makes this very unusual, as older bulls are usually less competitive than the younger sires. However, thanks to the reliability and continuity of VikingRed breeding, you can experience super strong bulls across three generations:
NEW! VR Ulvar – gNTM +29
VR Uppura – gNTM +25
VR Vimo – NTM +27

Our Jersey bulls also yielded excellent results in the August 2023 proof run, with the top 7 £PLI Jersey sires all being VikingJersey. They will give you healthy, profitable cows that produce milk containing the highest levels of fat and protein percentages.
Here are the standouts:
VJ Luxplus – gNTM +21
NEW! VJ Gonzo – gNTM +22
VJ Hauga – gNTM +17

Our three NEW top Holstein sires will give you healthy, efficient cows in a reduced size. VikingHolstein are resilient, medium-sized cows that are feed-efficient and produce high levels of milk and solids.
Their daughters benefit from great health traits, longevity, and genetic diversity – these cows will be in your herd for a long time.
