[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1684397, member: 968"] Simmental's were "cow killers" - but in all reality, it was partly because people wanted to "try" the new breed, so they picked a dink cow (800# - 1000# - normal cow weights) and bred to a 2300# bull. Yup - you killed her. I sure am not defending the reputation of hard calving back then - but - people were not too smart in their decisions for matching those huge bulls to their cows. We started out using Galant on everything we had. No calving issues at all. Good thing, we didn't have a clue how to help one if she had trouble. Later we used Achilles and Signal. [/QUOTE]
