Question on a Simmental bull

[Anonymous]

For some reason I thought you were an Angus outfit Yanuck. Fleckvieh makes a great cross with Angus. Those big Sim calves are usually a long gestation issue. If a shorter gestation period bull is actually available I would not be so shy about using one.

we are per, but have bred some Sim the last few yrs, with all the "stuff" going on in the Angus breed its good to explore new avenues. We just got delivery of our new hersire and he's a Canadian born and bred.

Ankonian Red Caesar is partly owned by a Canadian.....

Yep Fleckvieh are a variation of Simmental- I think from southern Germany, Bavaria, Austria area....They are the old red and white and paint simmentals I first remember...
Few left around here- only one local breeder- and he cut way back when hay got short, as they are large cows (1800 lb)- and can eat a haystack apiece- and when he hauled his weaned heifers in this January they weighed more than many of the two year olds I was calving (980 lbs)...

I think the pintos were more the pie rouge strain from France-most Fleckvieh I've seen are dark red with white faces or goggle eyes.
