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.
No. Black Angus cows are all black. You can only get black cows with white faces if they have a sire as a Hereford or traditional Simmental. These cows are called "black baldies" and should never considered as purebred Angus because they are not purebred at all: they are crossbreds.
Lenk im Simmental's population is 0,792.
The population of Erlenbach im Simmental is 0,763.
The population of Oberwil im Simmental is 0,766.
The Simmental breed originated in Switzerland as a dual-purpose breed. Simmental/Fleckvieh cattle where and are used for milk, meat, and sometimes draft.
That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.
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.
Both terminal and maternal. The growth of Simmentals in accordance for feedlot makes the breed more suitable as a terminal breed, though calving ease in this breed is not the greatest.
The cows are squeezed in a hug machine (actually it's just called a squeeze) before they are slaughtered as a means to calm them down.
It all depends on what you are referring to as a "white face" cow: Are you referring to a: Simmental? Hereford? Simmental cross? Hereford cross? or... The famous Angus x Hereford black baldy? No matter, a beef cow of the typical breeds above weighs between 1100 and 1700 lbs. Simmentals are typically bigger than the Herefords and Hereford crosses, so some Simmental cows can reach up to 1800 lbs where the big Herefords only reach up to 1600 lbs.
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.
