They have proven in more then 50 country around the globe that they are the breed which makes the most use of the available feed. And where ever you go you can ask the owner of the cattle what the cattle can do for them and you will be surprised by what they tell you. The best advertising for Braunvieh are the neighbouring countries of Switzerland which buy and use Braunvieh. It is very interesting to notice that in Italy there are now more Braunvieh cattle than in Switzerland. Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Hungary, Turkey, Yugoslavia and Russia are but a few countries that have and use Braunvieh with great success.
Few Breeds can boast the same diversity and success.
Some Breeds may be popular in their own country but they are not as widespread as Braunvieh. This does not happen without the breed being good and useful. They are not only easy calving but the calf also has a strong will to live, rapid growth, early maturity, and excellent fertility. Braunvieh have the genetic potential to become very old. I have had many animals that reached this age in Canada.
