[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1831048, member: 968"] I don't see the Simmental breeders breeding for smaller cattle. Obviously, I don't!! LOL But, when we show, we show against some major big cattle. "Some" "may" be a little older than what their papers say, so that "may" help in their size. Bottom line, I breed for easy keeping females. But, I have great forage and have the ability to have great hay made on my land, so I have BIG cattle. Not tall like I used to have. Heck, I had some in the 9 frame. Mine now are most all 6's. Probably have a few 7's and a few 5's. But, ALL, easily can fit a 50 gal drum inside of them!! They are tanks. I can remember when the Angus association had ads against the "Elephant breed" (Simmentals). Then, the next year at the state fair, they had bulls bigger than any Simmental bull shown. They quickly dropped those ads the next year. I am a very small fish in the "real" show world. We were out of our class at Louisville. Owners were NOT working on their show string. LOL [/QUOTE]
