[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1829028, member: 12607"] Jeanne touched on the 'extra' white you might get with a WF Simmental over WF cows... and she's right, but in my experience, you can't count on the white face in Simmentals to transmit as reliably as the Hereford white face. Last few Simmental AI sires we used were black whiteface or blaze-faced. Had several black cows with full white faces (and white udders) that we were really looking forward to getting BWF calves out of... but calves came out solid black-faced, or with just a few white hairs here and there - but white udders held pretty well. I had a few solid-color cows that carried the spotting gene, but got more 'flowery' calves when they were bred to solid red Shorthorn sires than when bred even to traditional-colored RWF Fleckvieh sires.
