[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1822678, member: 16453"] Jeanne, you forgot the numbers for feed efficiency, yield, growth and fertility. I have just finished reading all this Simmental propaganda on FB written by Ron (Bright Raven), it is a bit like a broken record. For me Angus work very well, I get paid a premium for them, they survive on my poor rocky broken country very well, their fertility is excellent and their balanced structure/bone/feet allow them to navigate my rocky outcrops to find that pick of feed in tough times like we are seeing now. Big bone might be OK in your lush pastures of NY and Kentucky but it doesn't work here. The buyers at our weaner sales prefer the bigger frame and balanced structure of bone and feet. My neighbour has a herd of registered Simmental cows that uses predominantly North American genetics and my cows walk all over them when it comes to fertility in our conditions, my cows breed like flies.
