[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1819655, member: 39695"] It all depends on your situation. Before I was ever thought of my dad had registered Simmentals (Flecks). He sold a bull through the Western Illinois University bull test sale and bought my mom a diamond. Almost fifty years ago. So I grew up thinking that simmentals were pretty cool. When I started as herdsman/ feedlot manager at my previous job. Simmental was a dirty word. They had a cattle confinement with concrete slats. Simmentals just have too much bone to be able to stand on slats for very long. They would have a lot of joint problems. Plus the way we fed did not work well for their bigger frames. I still like Simmies. I guess now my biggest overall complaint would be how course a lot of them are in their udder. Big dummy calves and big teats can be pretty frustrating. [/QUOTE]
