[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 350296, member: 968"] Maybe Simms are terminal sires in Canada, but the breed is much more popular as a MATERNAL breed here in US. And they are a breed being used in commercial heifer programs. If the bull has a +10 CE, they are recommended for all british breed heifers. This is off your subject, sorry. Just can't help myself defending the breed. I understand what you are saying about one breed being the "everything" breed. But, I still say that WITHIN some breeds, there are HERDS that fit the bill. (there are just MORE herds within my breed than most :D :D - I know - I'm bad!) Of the british breeds, Angus is ranked FIRST in CE WW Carcass Wt, #'s of retail product, Shear Force & Maternal WW. And first & second in feed efficiency traits. So that looks like a maternal breed AND a carcass breed to me. [/QUOTE]
