It all depends on what you plan on doing with the calves. I f your planning to keep heifers i would go with Herfored or shorthorn. If you looking at strickly terminal and sell off the calves Braunveigh ,Limo, charloais would give the size and meat. The Simmi would work in either case for keeping and to sell off.

go with Simmental you could keep the heifers or sell them as replacements, if your intention is to sell everything by the pound go with Charolais or Limousintrav":11tscmtl said:

Shorthorns will give you maternal and marbling. Need to watch color unless you want some, use red bulls. Hereford will be easiest keeping, but with less milking ability. Both breeds will calve easier than the others you note, where you will get more pounds and more mature size.

i have been using braunvieh influenced females now for about three years , im running some herefordx braunvieh cross cows that are in my opinion the best set of cows ive ever delt with ( about 30 yrs in the buisness ) they are outstanding foragers very docile good protective mothers and have very well formed utters i have not had to pull or assist a single cow or heffier , the first cross braunvieh will clean the utter up on anything. i also run a brangus bull and these calves have sold very very well and im having a hard time letting any heffiers go theya are awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and with that little shot of ear are turning out to be very effecient animals . i would caution you an getting braunvieh cattle from the showmen , or any typ for that matter go find some good cattle in a herd that is making someone some money as a commercial cattleman

both Simbrah and Brangus (RED or Black) will be ok, even Brafords or Brahmousin, that will be your choice but to keep your heifers undoubtedly I will suggest Simbrah
