[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 1781125, member: 14530"] There is no relationship between the Simmental and Gelbvieh breeds and never was. Gelbvieh began in Bavaria and it means yellow cattle in German which is about all I know about the breed other than seeing a few at shows over the years. Simmental developed in Switzerland with the Fleckvieh strain of Simmentals developed in Bavaria and Austria On the other hand the picture Nesi put up of the cow is more in line with what the breed looked like 20-30 years ago and is more similar to todays milking strains of Fleckvieh. The German Fleckvieh of today have a small amount of Red Holstein in the mix often and are geared more to milk than beef production. The breed in North America are generally solid dark red with goggle eyes and quickly moving to non dilutors and are for beef production. The push to the Fleckvieh strain began to pick up steam in the late 80’s here. Very few Fullbloods aren’t at least high percentage Fleckvieh in North America anymore. [/QUOTE]
