VH Brook is a success in Tweefontein Holstein herd

The Naude family uses exclusively VikingHolstein bulls, most of which are proven bulls.  

Pierre Naude has been farming on the Tweefontein farm - near the town of Worcester in the Western Cape, South Africa, since 2008. Together with his father Henri and brother Phillip, they own an extensive and multipurpose farm. Pierre is responsible for the dairy section milking 600 VikingHolsteins.

The Naude family uses exclusively VikingHolstein bulls, most of which are proven bulls.  Their emphasis on breeding goals is achieving high production. They use the production index in the Nordic Total Merit (NTM) as their main tool.

VH Brook has been used extensively on Tweefontein farm due to his ability to breed high production and milk components, in addition to his positive indexes for udder health and longevity that make him a very easy and popular choice for South Africa.

VH Brook got this first daughter proof in the third quarter of 2019 and has more than 2,000 daughters in his proof.  His figures have stabilized, and he has NTM +25.  His index for Fat kg is a staggering 133.
