[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 744901, member: 968"] Fullblood Simmental or Fullblood Fleckvieh must have 5 generations of "fullblood" on both sides. The American Simmental (Purebred) has been bred up like Baldie Maker said. A 7/8 is now considered Purebred. We had black Simmentals clear back in 1970. We used Fullblood semen (Galant & Signal) and bred to the commercial cattle we had - blacks, BWF, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc. So we ALWAYS have had black Simmies. Just never bred to a black bull until about 10 years ago --- no - must be more like 15 years ago - wow - time flies. Anyway, they were black, but not necessarily GOOD bulls. Now, all of a sudden, we have almost all black cows. All our reds were the older cows that slowly got culled. So, we are in the process of building up our red population. We've been breeding all our Hetero Blk cows to red bulls or at least another Hetero Blk bull trying to get more reds. We had 18 possible red calves. Got about 12 - wahoo - but -- all, except the last one, were BULLS!!! Got 1 red heifer calf. bummer. [/QUOTE]
