[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1525513, member: 27490"] The original Simmental as introduced from Europe was not an ideal beef animal. What the Simmental brought to the table was frame, milk production, growth, and rapid maturity. Those traits also fostered some negatives. The size and frame resulted in calving issues when crossed with smaller framed American beef cattle. As a result, some of those traits were moderated by breeding. The modern American Simmental is more moderate framed. They still produce a lot of milk. In my herd, maybe too much. And as is often lamented, they have been selected for a mostly a black hide. 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. ;-) [/QUOTE]
