[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1543964, member: 12520"] Their calving ease is what I would consider moderate, very similar to what we do here. They are not having 65 lb calves. According to their bull sale catalog it appears most bulls birthweights are in the 90-100 lb range, with some a little higher and some a little lower. Weaning weights of the bulls seem to be in the 1000 lb range at what looks like around 235 days plus / minus. Their cows tend to be in the 1300 lbs range. So to my original point, to us Luddites up here these are what Simmental still are and what sell very well, so that's why it seems so strange to see the black Simmental that seems to have taken over down South. Not to say that those blacks aren't fine looking animals, they are, but it's disappointing to me to see the traditional coloured Simmie's disappearing down there. [/QUOTE]
