[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1508732, member: 24816"] There are several Simmentals around now black ones that is. I have kind of noticed though that some of the folks that used the Bulls have gone back to Angus. Our pastures are fescue and bluegrass with a lot of white clover and we have sown red clovers and orchard grass over the years as well. I have thought at times about Simmental Bulls but haven't. I have some commercial BWF cows that look more Simmental than traditional BWF. They are good cows and milk well with good udders, my knock on them is they are a little flighty compared to my Angus and Herefords, and they have all migrated a couple months or more behind the others in calving as well. One has a LOT of hair and lives in the ponds during the summer. We can have 100 degree weather, most years just a few days of it though. Quite a few 90+ days and humidity not as hot and humid as where you are but still pretty hard on the cattle and I suspect the endophyte adds to it. [/QUOTE]
