In Europe Simmentals are a dual purpose breed. I've read a lot, however would like some opinions from real people. Would your Simmental cows make an ok family milk cow? Mention milk cow and all the Jersey folks jump in telling you how great they are. I don't want a Jersey!! Also don't want 8 gallons of milk a day. Don't care about how much butterfat, ect. Have a neighbor that raises Simmentals. His pasture adjoins my property. I'm sure he would sell me a couple of heifers or cows. Also open to other common breeds, really like the way the udders look on a Hereford. Looked at the Dexters; however they want way too much money for them. Just want a plain good old cow. I know that people have had milk cows for hundreds of years, and not all of them were purebred this or that with these milking awards and such.
Any input? Thanks Daniel
