The Simmental breed originated in Switzerland as a dual-purpose breed. Simmental/Fleckvieh cattle where and are used for milk, meat, and sometimes draft.
A "male cow" is called a bull if it's intact (has testicles) or a steer if it has been castrated. A "male simmental cow" is simply called a Simmental bull or Simmental steer if either of the above physiological characteristics are present or not.
No. Fleckvieh cattle, or those that are purebred (unlike the North American Simmental cattle), come in only gold, red, brown, tan, or yellow (or light blond) with the typical characteristic white markings. If an animal that is supposedly Fleckvieh but black would merely be a crossbred or an animal that is a composite-breed animal, and not Fleckvieh at all.Don't confuse Fleckvieh with Simmental cattle, even though both breeds are very closely linked genetically. The Simmental breed has an "open breeding" ruling in that any animal can be registered as Simmental (not Simmental-cross or SimGenetic) as long as there is 7/8 Simmental breeding in said animal, according to the Standards of Registration by the American Simmental Association. Simmental cattle can be near any colour besides the popular brown and red associated with the more heritage Simmental cattle, including black.
Simmental bull calves will reach puberty when they get to be around 10 months of age, and are commonly used for breeding when they are past 12 months old.
Yes, but it's spelled "Simmental" not "simatall."
Any Simmental animal, regardless of sex, can be horned or polled. The polled trait is dominant and the horned trait is determined by a pair of recessive alleles.
Early imports of Simmentals occured in 1890 and 1914. But it wasn't until 1967 when a group of Alberta cattle producers headed by Travers Smith from Cardston, Alberta imported enough Simmentals that the breed really started to grow and become a major thing in North America. In 1968, semen from Canadian Simmental bulls became available in the U.S.A. The first purebred Simmental bull was imported into the United States in 1971, and the American Simmental Association became established in 1968.
I'm trying to get a Simmental Calf in one of my Dairy Farms by having a Bull & 1 Simmental Cow in them, Total of 2 cows. But I'm not getting any Simmental Calfs when I Harvest the Dairy Farm. Is there a minimum number of cows I need to have in the Dairy Farm to produce a Calf? Any Advice. Please help.
Charolais, Simmental, and Gelbvieh. There are many others of course.
