World Simmental Fleckvieh Congress

Austria, August 30 to September 4, 2022

After more than 25 years Austria hosted the World Simmental-Fleckvieh Congress again. We offered our guests from all over the world a high-calibre mix of technical lectures, visits to Austrian family farms that run Simmental cattle breeding with a lot of heart and soul, and interpersonal exchange with culture and culinary delights.

We thank you for the numerous registrations. We were able to welcome more than 200 responsible persons, multipliers and breeders from a total of 31 countries of the world to the Congress in Vienna. The National Simmental Cattle Show in Freistadt was the professional highlight of the Fleckvieh World Congress.

Fleckvieh Changes – Fleckvieh changes the cattle world in the long run!

As host country of the World Simmental-Fleckvieh Congress we were able to show the advantages of Simmental cattle in economy and ecology. At the same time, the focus was also on global megatrends and their impact on cattle breeding and agriculture as a whole. With the motto of the Congress “Fleckvieh Changes” we were able to show that we not only see the challenges, but can also offer convincing answers. Simmental cattle are changing the cattle world permanently – they enable dairy farming with robust cows and are the most eco-efficient form of cattle farming – and that in pure breeding!
