[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 142551, member: 2095"] A big framed beefy Simmental would help you increase weaning weights. Those big framy heavy milking Simmental-Braunvieh cross heifers would scare me too much; but IF you have the grass and don't mind feeding those big cows that will be a productive mama cow. Of those THREE, I would definitely pick the Simmental. If it was me I would be looking for an Angus or a Hereford; but you would have to pick your bull carefully to not lose weaning weight. Another breed you should be considering in your 100% Continental system is Charolais. You can find a Char bull that can add pounds to almost any set of cows and still have feminine heifers. [/QUOTE]
