[QUOTE="ga. prime, post: 73390, member: 588"] Back in the late 70's-early 80's one of my uncles had a purebred Simmental herd. I think they were what is now known as Flecks, but then they were called Simmentals. They were yellow and white. I remember he drove to Beaumont, Tx. and bought 2 bulls. I don't know where he got the cows. Anyway, they were very large animals and the cows birthed very large calves. About the mid 80's my uncle got rid of the Simm bulls and got a Brahma to put on the simm cows. The resulting offspring made some of the best momma cows I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My Dad ended up with some of them and I sold the last one a couple of years ago. What I'm getting around to is that as these cows aged, they developed a large roll of muscle around their tailhead. Two or three years ago I had the vet out doing some testing and he remarked that that roll of muscle was a cut of meat that was in high demand in France. Now I notice that Belgian Blue pic was taken by a French photographer. Do Frenchmen have some kind of obsession with rump cuts? frenchie? :) anybody? [/QUOTE]
