I think the black Simmental are pretty good if they are half Angus.
aj said:Silver....it is a myth. I gaurentee that a pen of Red Angus stters will out grade a pen of black purebred simentals. It is a fact. The black hided myth is just wrong. At least call a spade a spade. It is a fad. It is a trend. Most peoples understanding of history is limited from the day they were born. There are so many good re Salers,Limis,Simi's that shoved aside and the breeds need these cattle. Period. Let the people who raise red cattle go free. Throw down their shackles and let them go. Select cattle for their qualities and to heck with color. Someone with an IQ of 50 can pick colors. How many people know good cattle? That is the question.

aj said:I don't think you could put a pen of purebred black simmi's together. If you did and they were 50% Angus they probably could outgrade the ole red simmi's. But by god the old red simmi's made great cows. They were the only"exotic" breed that made good cows. The black simmi's I have been exposed to were terrible hard keepers, hard calvers, and flat bad cattle cattle. In my opinion the only good black simmi is one that is at least 50% angus. In my opinion the Black Angus own the industry. They are great cattle. The association has all kinds of data. It's the black exotics that I think are the joke. But there again if they are half angus and are maintainers or lim flex or whatever they have value as composites but the purebred exotic black cattle are sophmoric as I see them.jmo

Give any breed that many cattle, and see what they can do.
Show Steaks said:industry is changing and select cuts of meat are being sold at a higher price with less discounts.....even making them a premium for a month or 2 last year.
and when you get this little assoc formed and do your research you will see that black cattle finish and marble better than most other breeds
