[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1161949, member: 18809"] I think plenty has been said about the Simmental positive influence when using a Simmental bull on those angus cows. I sure wish people like cowgirl would stop stereotyping the modern day simmental into her box of ideas of hard calvers. Full bloods, or Flecks, are what she remembers. Today's Simmental is not that. And just because it is registered (as she is always quick to point out) does not make it better. PHENOTYPE means more than a piece of paper mailed from an association. The Simmental breed has done a fantastic job of setting goals for cattle that will excel at the feed bunk, on the rail, and in the pasture. They put a ton of effort into research, getting the breed to hit the grid with high marks. This starts at the top, with good seed stock producers putting bulls on test, submitting accurate data, and culling hard. Not every Simmental is perfect, but it is YOUR job as a buyer to sort the good from the ugly, and I can tell you there are a ton of SUPER simmental breeders out there in every state that will help you improve your herd genetics by using a Simmental bull. And if you pay attention to your EPDs, I bet you won't have to touch a calf! [/QUOTE]
