[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 592545, member: 4353"] 35cm is below my minimum standards, actually its below most minimum standards. I will not look at a mature bull below 38, but preferably between 42 and 44cm. I have yearling bulls of over 40cm. All that said, its not as simple as SC, the shape, tone, phenotype of the testicles and epididimi as well as the shape, symmetry and length of the scrotum also plays a role. Milking simmental from Germany and Austria, mostly fleckview is used widely here to be crossed with holstein herds to get a more hardy animal better adapted to grazing. When I grew up our dairy herd consisted of mostly friesianX jersey cows with a few jerseys and a few friesians to create the F1s. Later on we started using holstein semen (Arlinda chief and Rocco being the popular sires then) but dad sold the dairy herd before he could really say the holstein had a negative effect on fertility.
