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.
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.
Brahmans are known for their great mothering ability, yes.
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.
There are many cow herds with Angus cows that are excellent mothers, some too good that the producer can't get near the calf without having momma blowing snot down his back pockets. Some Angus herds, though, may have cows with not so good mothering ability. It all depends on the individual herd and what producers have selected into or out of their Angus cow herds.
Yes. In addition with having great convertability on grass, they also have good mothering ability not to mention an ability to raise some good calves.
Calves that are suckling milk from cows which would be their mothers.
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.
Cows milk is. Not their mothers milk is not. Cows milk will make their tummy upset. Give them water to drink.
