[QUOTE="BrazosBottomHand, post: 1705324, member: 26764"] There are more differences among breeds than between breeds. Like Brute said the disposition has a lot to do with how they get handled. Idk if all the paint has been bred out of your Simmental bull but if the calves have some paint on them they will be discounted at the sale barn in addition to the fact that they are not black or charx. Also the more ear you breed into those calves the more they will get discounted at the sale. A lot of people run good crossbred/Gert/beefmaster cows with some ear on them to make them more thrifty and better mommas, and then take the ear off the calves with the bull (usually a Charolais or angus bull). Generally speaking, Santa Gertrudis are good momma cows, especially in hot and humid climates. [/QUOTE]
