[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 95748, member: 968"] Of course, being a Simmental breeder, I have to throw in my 2 cents. Simmental/Angus crosses are becoming extremely popular. Simmental is the number 1 continental breed for Calving Ease, Weaning Wt, %Choice, Carcass Weight, Post Wean gain, Shere Force, Feed Efficiency by Wt Gain, Feed Eff by Marbling, Feed Eff by Retail Product, % Puberty, and Maternal Calving Ease. Angus is the number 1 british breed for Calving Ease, WW, Carcass Wt, Post Wean Gain, # of Retail Product, Shear Force, Feed Eff by Marb, and Maternal Wean Wt. Based on MARC report #22. Simmental sires now calve easier than Herefords & comparable to Angus (within 2%) when used on cows. (based on MARC) Simmental will improve yield by 3/4 of a grade over Angus (MARC) No other breed grows faster to weaning (MARC). Simmental females wean heavier calves than any Continental or British breed (MARC) The American Simmental Assn has the first Tenderness EPDs in the industry. With these results, the solution is simple - breed the best continental breed to the best british breed. You can keep them all black. [/QUOTE]
