The TopTierTreff feature at EuroTier 2024, a live show presenting live cattle breeds in Hall 11, is a must for German and international breeders. From 12 to 15 November, leading German and international breeding companies and organizations from the dairy and beef cattle sector will be presenting breeds at the exhibition grounds in Hanover, Germany. The Holstein Frisian, Angler and Braunvieh dairy cattle breeds will be presented alongside the dual-purpose breeds Fleckvieh, Grauvieh and Pinzgauer. Beef cattle breeds include Angus, Charolais, Galloway, Hereford and Wagyu. Visitors will also be able to see German and international sheep and goat breeds as well as a Noriker horse. 

The presentation of the wide range of live animals will contribute to meeting the increasing demand from breeders from all over the world for comprehensive and up-to-date information on cattle genetics. The participating companies and organizations will provide information in blocks focusing on one breed at a time. On the TopTierTreff stage, the characteristics and traits of the breed will be presented including performance, longevity, health and other advantages as well as hereditability. Exhibitors will provide supplementary information at their stands in Hall 11, where the live breeding animals are integrated for close-up inspection and subsequent discussions.

Comprehensive animal presentations

A varied stage program will be offered to visitors from 10.00 a.m. on each day of the four days of the exhibition: Breeding animals and offspring of the various dairy breeds will be presented several times a day on the TopTierTreff stage with live commentary by experts from the relevant breeding organizations, in German daily and in English on two days. The hereditary strengths and performance potential of proven daughter offspring from genome tested top bulls will be demonstrated live as individual animals and in groups, providing visitors with comprehensive information for their selection decision. Targeted mating promises high-performance and healthy cattle and are a prerequisite for the success of this part of the farm business.

During the stage presentation of bulls, heifers, cows, suckler cows and calves of different breeds, questions about suckler cow husbandry, intensive beef production and extensive robust cattle husbandry will be explored in-depth.

Presentation of international sheep and goat breeds 

Responding to the increased visitor interest in sheep and goat breeding  EuroTier 2024 will once again provide a platform for these small ruminants on the TopTierTreff stage this year.

Due to the current prevalence of bluetongue disease, only animals of the affected species that have been vaccinated against bluetongue will be exhibited at the trade fair.

Specialist program on the TopTierTreff stage

In addition to the presentation of the breeding animals, individual time slots are dedicated to expert presentations and discussions on topics covering breeding, dairy and meat production, rounding off the content of the stage program.

Presentations in English will take place on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. International guests are also welcome at the TopTierTreff at any time and can follow the translation into English via an additional monitor.
