I would like to see a return of the chrome. I am doing my part to put more chrome in my Simmentals. How about you? Anyone want to join me in bringing back some of that wonderful color? I dream of the day when folks will look at Gimli and say - I wish he had more chrome. ;-)
To get back to your original post, in my part of the world Simmies still tend to look like Simmental. Maybe more red and less yellow.
Thought I'd show a couple of pics of mine. They are not unusual in this area and sell as good as any colour.
A yrlg bull. Less white on this one than some of my others.

Watched a Simmental influence sale yesterday, over 1000 Simmental calves went through the ring, one small consignor had blacks all the rest traditional colours. Lots of $1,600 (CAD) calves.
