Part of VikingDanmark
VikingLivestock is part of VikingDanmark, a farmer-owned cooperative with a leading role in the Danish cattle industry. The cooperative structure is important because it means the business is owned by the farmers themselves.
This creates a close connection to the people, herds, and farms that form the foundation of Danish cattle production. It also means that VikingLivestock is not working at a distance from the market. We are part of it.
A Strong Position in the Danish Market
VikingDanmark holds around 90% market share in semen and service in Denmark. This is a very strong market position and reflects a close and trusted relationship with Danish dairy farmers.
For international customers, that matters. It means VikingLivestock is built on a strong national platform and on a level of market access that is difficult to match.
Cattles with strong documentation
Danish dairy and beef cattle with strong traceability, health status and documentation, giving international buyers confidence.
We handle the entire export process
Animal selection, health documentation , quarantine, logistics and transport – we supports customers safely throughout the process.
A long-term and professional partner
Not only a cattle supplier but a reliable partner for importers, cooperatives and larger farming projects looking for stable supply over time.
Daily Contact with Danish Farmers
Around 300 employees in VikingDanmark visit farmers and members across Denmark on a daily basis. This creates a unique and ongoing connection to the farms, herds, and decision-makers behind the Danish cattle sector.
That daily presence gives us a very strong understanding of the market and a close relationship with farmers who may be able to supply animals for export. It also means we are close to developments in herd quality, management, breeding, and availability.
Market Leader in Live Cattle Export from Denmark
VikingLivestock is the market leader in live cattle export from Denmark. Each year, we handle around 15,000 heifers and cows for customers in Denmark and international markets.
This experience is important for buyers who want a supplier with practical knowledge of sourcing, planning, documentation, and delivery coordination. We are used to working with both structured recurring business and larger international projects.
Strong Access to Export-Relevant Animals
Because VikingLivestock is part of VikingDanmark, we work from a position of strong market access. Our connection to Danish farmers is not based on occasional contact. It is built on ongoing daily relationships through the wider VikingDanmark organisation. For international customers, this means better access to relevant animals, stronger market knowledge, and a more reliable basis for long-term supply dialogue.
A Farmer-Owned Business with Long-Term Perspective
The cooperative model supports a long-term way of working. It reflects a business culture built around farming, trust, continuity, and practical results.
That is important in international cattle trade, where customers are often not only looking for animals, but for a reliable partner who understands herd development and long-term cooperation.
