Here's a picture of a heifer calf of mine that I'm keeping as a replacement this year. Her sire is of the Neff line (Fleckvieh influenced). This isn't the best posed picture, but you know how those calves just won't hold still for photo opps. Thick backed as well, but in this picture she doesn't really show off her length. Her dam definately 'got milk'.
Take care.

They are generally thicker muscled and meatier than the traditional Simmentals, and have their own organizations outside of the Simmental Association devoted to that breeding. Generally they are deep red or red with white faces and legs.

The leather I'm refering to is the extra throat and brisket that the Flecks tend to carry up front. Around here it is called "leather", regional thing I guess.
