Do you think that there would have to be a place in the cattle industry for simmental bulls like that? I know the spots but besides that.[/quote] no,, not anymore..... exactally what folks have been breeding """away"" from. the spots are just a indicator.. far the limo. it must be the foundation stock the were bred up from...look at their brahman breeds, you could take the hide off one, and put on the other... and not tell much different all have pretty much the the same phenotype...[/quote]
I understand what you are saying but I think those simmental bulls seem a little thicker and not as tall and rangey as the ones they were trying to breed away from. I can't see what Charlois do that those type of Simmentals couldn't. But you must be right because there was a reason they have went out of style and went black. But if those 2 bulls there could have a calf under 90 lbs I could see those used as straight terminal not even worrying about keeping any heifers.
