Testimonials from previous clients:
| “Having bought 20 Danish Red in calf heifers, which have now joined a
herd of 300 milkers, I am very pleased with my purchases. The heifers
are averaging 32 litres and the 1st 12 heifers calved are back in calf,
within 65 days post calving. The purchase of the cattle was made very
easy by Chris Dodds Livestock Ltd. I was more than happy with the
selection of heifers offered to me, on farm, in Denmark. I was
pleasantly surprised by the availability of heifers. The heifers
travelled home exceptionally well, maintaining their condition and
unloading very clean.”

| “Having decided that Danish Red cattle were the right breed to improve
the performance of our dairy herd, buying quality in-calf heifers
directly from selected herds out of Denmark with high disease free
status and delivered straight to our farm was a most cost effective and
trouble free operation, supervised and arranged by a knowledgeable team”
