[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1847094, member: 40587"] Early 70's, after folks down here had learned a hard lesson on using Simm and Char bulls on our little Herf and Angus cows, people started breeding the other way: Hereford and Angus bulls on Simm cows , and Hereford bulls on Charolais cows. People also bred Simm x Char crosses, which were very popular in the brand new commercial classes in the cow shows. The Herf x Char and Ang x Simm calves grew just as fast, and just as big as the Char x Simm. Lots more hybrid vigor with a British x Continental cross, than a Continental x Continental cross. The Herf x Char looked like yellow and white Herfords, and the Simm X Char looked like yellow and white Simms. Main way you could tell them apart is the Simm x Char would have yellow eye patches. Same with the Ang x Simm.... they looked like big ole black baldies with a black eye patch. [/QUOTE]
