[QUOTE="simme, post: 1745658, member: 40418"] So, you have a Simmental. Montbeliarde is one of the French registries that are part of the larger breed known as Simmental. Although they were known as Simmental in Switzerland, they had different names in other European countries. From "History of the Simmental Breed" - "[I]Selection in Europe was initially for three features . . . milk, meat and as draft animals. The demand for working animals is greatly reduced today but muscularity and high milk production are still important to the success of Simmental. The breed is known by a variety of names, including "Fleckvieh" in Germany; "Pie Rouge", "[B]Montbeliarde[/B]", and "Abondance" in France; and "Pezzata Rosa" in Italy."[/I] Montbeliarde is known for milk and cheese production. Closer to a Holstein than a beef animal in France. Did your calf come from a dairy? Maybe you could share a picture? Simmentals are the second largest breed of cattle in the world in terms of numbers with a lot of diversity worldwide. Largest is Brahma. North American simmentals have evolved quite a bit due to selection for our conditions and needs. A French Montbeliarde cow.
