Planned breeding has been practised since 1830 and there was a central herdbook in Süderbrarup since 1879. Even in those days there was a central commission which are selected all the bulls out of these race. Since 1906 all the herdbook-cattles are connected to the milkrecording. A breed that emphasizes milk with high protein percentage. To be competitive, genes from the RDM (Denmark), SRB (Sweden) and Red Holstein breeds was introduced to the Red Angler. he current breeding aim is 9,500 kg-milk with 4.5 fat and 3.8 % protein. Mature cows should reach about 145 cm height at the rump and a live weight of 650 kg. The Red Cattle distinguish itself: * by a very economic relationship between total feed input and milk yield * a high content of milk solids * excellent feet and legs and good claws * adaptability * easy calvings and low calf losses * good udder health with low somatic cell score The young cows grow fast and calve without problems at the age of 24 months.
