[QUOTE="UG, post: 920271, member: 714"] Good question Massey. When Simmentals were introduced to North America in the late 60's and early 70's, imports came from a few different European countries. My understanding is that the Simmys from Germany and Switzerland were also called Fleckvieh, and strains from France were also known as Pie Rouge and Montbeliard. If I remember correctly, a long time and fairly influential Simmy breeder once told me that the Fleckvieh seemed to cross best with the North American cattle. Seems to me he told me that the Flecks tended to be a bit more moderate in frame and also were a bit more of a beef animal than some of the other strains of Simmentals. For example, I believe the Montbeliard cattle tended to have a more dairy type. [/QUOTE]
