[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1428682, member: 968"] My herd is PB Simmental. Been breeding them for 45 years. I have always said, I don't care if a cow is red, black or purple polka dotted, so long as she is good. I do have to pay attention to "trends" because I make my living selling breeding stock & mostly show stock. I used to have 9 - 10 frame cows - but, unlike most Simmental back then, mine were structurally correct. So when the "fad" got back to good solid moderate frame cattle, it was a piece of cake making my offspring, moderate and correct. Cut the legs off and kept the big middled, easy keeping mommas. True Grit - really very nice of you to say such nice things. About 7-8 years ago, all of a sudden I realized my herd was mostly black. Due, in part, to my herd bull that semen was sold (and still is) nationally was homo. black (the bull used as my avatar). So, I made an assertive effort to breed every red cow to red bull and every heterozygous black cow to a red bull to increase my red numbers. A "good" red cow (or show heifer) brings as much as a good black one. I have two red heifers in my show string this year. Oh, and I weigh my cows twice a year, so yes, I know their weights. And, I still breed some of my cows and heifers to Macho (the pictured bull). [/QUOTE]
