Ellettfarms, there is a reason the Simmy herd book is larger, and it's not just good advertising by ASA, but honestly, you can find all the scientific evidence needed for each breed to "prove" they are better than the other.

And...Oh, don't pay attention to 3waycross and Dun. They were dropped on their heads when they were kids. :cboy:

All I can say right now is that the simm angus cross is very hot right now! It seems to be the best of both worlds, pounds weaned and carcass qualities. Do some research, and I think you will find the research proves it!

Funny thing about research, numbers can be skewed, by the animals that are used for the data... I cant speak for right now, but a few years back many of the animals used for the MARC research on Simms had a large percentage of Fleckvieh in their backgrounds.. Dont get me wrong I like those ol Fleck animals, they could really push the scales down with their offspring. Its a shame that they have the problems of birthweight and most damming, spotting.

So make sure when you are comparing these breeds that all factors are used in your decisions
