[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 461438, member: 968"] Sage, coincidentally, I ordered Ranch Hand two days ago! Want to use him on some of my Macho daughters for fall calving. Simmental always did & still have plenty of milk. You don't see the extremely heavy milkers much any more. When we had the traditional spotted, yellow cows, they did have more milk than a calf knew what to do with the first few weeks, but they always caught up. I have to say, I NEVER had a hard breeder due to being a hard keeper. I had cows lose condition til the pastures got plentiful, but even tho they might have been thin from milking heavy, they always bred - AI. I can totally understand some areas not wanting/needing a heavy milking cow. As most everyone is aware - I am proud of my breed - but I am also proud of the work our national assn. has done to educate the breeders to what the commercial man needed from us purebred breeders. The old Simmentals were great - the modern American made Simmentals are even better. But, we all know, I'M PREJUDICE! [/QUOTE]
