[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 802645, member: 968"] yes, to the best of my knowledge, each strain has it's own registry. The Simmental from France & Switzerland were the yellow & white spotted (diluted) and the German & Austrian strains were the deep blood red (non diluted), more solid colored than the yellows. That is one of the reasons why the Fleckvieh bulls are so popular in the black programs, because they do not carry the diluter gene. Also, the French & Swiss were more flat muscled (feminine) like a dairy cow. Which fits because they were known for their milk & cheese. The Flecks have been known to have more calving difficulties than the PB Simmentals, but, like the Amer upgraded PB Simmentals, they have worked to improve that trait. Remember, the true Flecks were really, really, heavy muscled, with real heavy front ends. Not my kind of cattle, but the new modern Flecks are better. JMHO [/QUOTE]
