With top performances, Gut Hülsenberg once again secures a top ranking.

Gut Hülsenberg has once again achieved a top position in the coveted list of Germany's top herds by lifetime performance.

Gut Hülsenberg is the No. 1 farm in Schleswig-Holstein in terms of lifetime production in the size category 200-399 cows.

The Gut Hülsenberg dairy herd stood out once again in the soon-to-be published State Monitoring Association Schleswig-Holstein (LKV SH) annual report for its outstanding figures.

In Issue 1/2022 of Elite, a German magazine for dairy farmers, Gut Hülsenberg, its dairy herd and the herd's high performance are “in focus”.

Maize harvesting at the Hülsenberg estate has been completed. Despite an initially difficult maize year with a pronounced cold spell and drought, very good yields and quality were achieved.

Exactly 21 days after the first cut, the second cut was harvested. Thanks to the good water supply in recent weeks, yields are above average at 10-12 t DM/ha.

Gut Hülsenberg optimally completed its first grass cutting from May 18 to 20 despite a very short time frame.

The Baxter daughter Orla (GP-83) has reached the milestone of 100,000 kg lifetime production after approximately 200 days of lactation in her fifth lactation.

The Holstein herd of Gut Hülsenberg is one of the herds with the highest lifetime milk yields of cows in Germany in 2019. The lifetime milk yield is 21.7 kg of milk per day.

SCHAUMANN documents the development of grassland on representative areas of the Hülsenberg estate with the ripeness test.

In der letzten Woche hat der Landeskontrollverband Schleswig-Holstein die 2019-er-Leistungszahlen seiner gut 2.600 Mitglieds-Milchviehbetriebe veröffentlicht. Gut Hülsenberg konnte sich dabei auf außergewöhnliche Art und Weise auszeichnen.

At the invitation of SCHAUMANN, eleven members of the Young DLG Group of the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Bernburg paid a visit to the Gut Hülsenberg. The guests were given an insight into the history, structures and services of the farm.

The maize harvest at Gut Hülsenberg was a success. Not only the yield, but also the quality of the silage was impressive.

This year’s Farmer’s Day of the Kreisbauernverband Segeberg (District Farmer’s Association Segeberg) was held at Gut Hülsenberg on 5th July 2019.

The Gut Hülsenberg dairy herd once again performed very well in the annual report of the Schleswig-Holstein State Control Association. The lifetime production is particularly striking.

The prolonged drought before the second harvest at Hülsenberg Estate resulted in low yields with high sugar contents. Protection against subsequent warming became even more important.

In spring 2018, Frauke, who was sired by Aaron, exceeded the 150,000 litre milk mark and in doing so set a new lifetime yield record at the Gut Hülsenberg.

Rye WPS was harvested at Gut Hülsenberg, because the rye had ripened prematurely with very poor grain development after weeks of drought

In perfect weather, the first harvest was harvestet at Gut Hülsenberg on May 13 and 14. The silage additive bonsilage FIT G was used. 

The Landeskontrollverband Schleswig-Holstein (State Monitoring Association Schleswig-Holstein) has published its annual statement 2017. The dairy herd of Gut Hülsenberg, with on average 198 cows, defended its top position in its size category.

The persistent wet weather means many farmers are having problems storing or spreading their slurry. The storage capacities in Schleswig-Holstein are virtually exhausted. Therefore, the decision was taken together with the contractor Blunk to reactivate the lagoon on Gut Hülsenberg

The maize harvest on Gut Hülsenberg started on 9 October 2017. Poor weather with more than 100 mm of rain had delayed the harvest by a good two weeks.

Auf Gut Hülsenberg wurde das mehrtägig gute Wetter genutzt, um den 3. Schnitt einzufahren und die Wintergerste zu ernten.

The highly favourable weather conditions with adequate warmth and rain ensured that grass regrew quickly after the 1st cut.

The 1st cut for 2017, which had been treated with bonsilage SPEED G, was opened again after a short ensiling period, as planned. The good appearance and pleasant smell evident as soon as the silo was opened were already indicative of impeccably high silage quality

On May 17 and 18, the first harvest was harvested at Hülsenberg Estate under optimal conditions. Since the silage was to be reopened after just two weeks, bonsilage SPEED G was used as a silage additive.

The dairy cow herd on Gut Hülsenberg once again increased its performance substantially in the recently completed 2016 recording year.
