Where does one find semen for these bulls?

Might try contacting a board member "Doustthouhavemilk". They use Norwegian Red I believe.
Select Sires carries Swedish Red. Genex carries Finnish Ayrshire.
The Swedish Red, Norwegian Red, and Danish Red are all similar in the traits they were developed for.

We only ever purchased five units of one Norwegian Red bull. That was 9 years ago from Genex. We still have two or three straws of Myrher-P.
I haven't seen anyone carrying Norwegian Red recently. They've switched to the other Reds...lol
We've generally bred back to Jersey except when we've retained a NR cross bull calf for clean-up purposes.

They were doing a bunch of experimental breeding here in canada a couple years back and now I can't find anyone carrying the semen at all. The reds really improved the holstiens as far as mast. resistance.
