[QUOTE="Diehard40, post: 325173, member: 3410"] Black Simmental = Great market scheme by angus (CAB) With that said i have seen the black simmi's improve greatly over the past 10 years. there are also some awful fine red ones out there as well. The old red and white ones were a little on the large size for most operations with traditional English bred cows (800-900 lb angus). The older lemon and white cows were pretty hard to beat as mama's they would do a heck of a job weaning a calf especially if you could keep the groceries to them. With that said the modern simmental has come a long way in moderating their size both mature and birth. A lot of emphasis has been placed on calving ease in the simmental breed (perhaps a little too much) A recent study in Montana (i think) recently looked at breeding Angus heifers to the top 10%BW angus bulls and top 10% calving ease epd simmental bulls. The simmental averaged around 4lbs more on the birth weights than did the angus. Not that great of difference in my opinion [/QUOTE]
