We strive to offer the highest possible value to our clients, the existing and prospective breeders, who want to start or extend a Pinzgauer stud.

We trade our cattle in a free-market environment, price driven by supply and demand, with superior breeding value and good, supportive service as the basis.

Prospective clients are informed in advance regarding the management responsibilities that stud breeding requires, as well as the realistic financial expectations for the intended enterprise.

⮚ We as breeders support and discipline each other to ensure that new clients will feel satisfied and cared for within the Society, during the initial buy- and registration transaction and over the long term as registered breeder.

We develop and maintain long term, mutually beneficial relationships with our stakeholders.
