The magazines are owned by the consulting company Växa, whose vision is to be the knowledge company that leads the development towards increased and sustainable food production.

The magazines reflect important events in dairy and beef production in print and digitally within breeding, construction, economics, animal health, technology, and feeding. This helps our readers stay updated and see development opportunities in their agricultural businesses. The magazines also address other relevant issues and provide international perspectives. In surveys we regularly conduct, the magazines receive very high ratings for readability, objectivity, and knowledge.
