Yes mine are tasty like that. Would the simmy perform as well on bad ground?Nutters to work with, though.
Our stores are a lot quieter since switching to Simmy bulls

The store buyers are getting picky at the moment. They need shape or elseWe are upland/hill and get on fine with them. Hill is white and bracken, inbye grazing is all very old PP on shallow soil
She’s done him well
For outwintering?Hardier
What do you make of simmental as a breed?The Saler will be the best but not a lot in it,it is as much to do with the individual cow as the breed. My heaviest calf at the moment will be out of an AA x Luing cow which I bought as a buller just because I liked the look of her.
Impressive is that a charolais out of a lim? Age?
Is the main problem with dairy cattle not the cost and availability of labour? From what ive seen most milk contracts will only be 1 or 2ppl over cop, which is £100-200/ head profit per cow at 10,000l, a suckler cow can achieve that if its good?I'd say there's more going out of Beef
It's how you sell it.The breeds irrelevant its how you farm it
Calving ease and growth rates from milk are surely the main criteria, cow size tooIt's how you sell it.
Very rarely calved a highlander (lim bull) not massive amounts of milk but good quality.Calving ease and growth rates from milk are surely the main criteria, cow size too
He was 8 months of age,that was taken a couple of days before he was sold,the mother is a limmy x Shorthorn .Impressive is that a charolais out of a lim? Age?
I like a touch of Simmental in the cows,good for milk and growth,on this farm I find if they get too pure they cost more to keep.What do you make of simmental as a breed?
