[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 33487, member: 147"] Simentals, are a dule pupose breed from Switzerland They tollerate cold better than heat, they have a higher requirment for copper, and thus due poorly if not properly supplimented. If proper nutrition is requirments are met they do great, have excellent growth, have gotten a little framey over the years, and have seen some sever dicounts at the sale barn sales, They have turned them black by breeding them to Angus, and also offer the polled trait, the hide collor change has helped greatly for those who like to use them, but for honest commercial purposes, they will hurt your pocket book at a sale barn sale if that is how you market your cattle, real Simental cattle from europe are really nice, musculare, moderate framed cattle with high butter fat, Americans have managed to mess them up too, breeding other breeds into them. I love the USA, but I have yet to figure out why they have to mess up every breed and species of critter out there, the only one I think they did OK with is the quarter horse, and some think they have ruined that too [/QUOTE]
