[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 51986, member: 220"] Certherf, not too sure what you're referring to regarding "leather"... tell me more? Bubchub, I'm feeling kind of lazy tonight so just copied and pasted a bit from the Canadian Simmental Association's website. I'll post a link to their site if anyone feels like checking it out. It's actually a nice site. "Technically, the Simmental designation includes several breeds in Europe. The name is given specifically to the breed in Switzerland, while in Germany and Austria it is known as Fleckvieh, and in France as Pie Rouge. The Pie Rouge includes three separate herd book registries namely Abondance, Montbeliard and Pie Rouge de l'Est. In Canada the breed is known as Simmental."
