The Simmental breed comes from Switzerland, and is considered to be one of the oldest cattle types in the world! There are 41 million of these animals around the world, and theyâre popular for their excellent reputation in both milk and beef production.
These cattle mature early, and convert food to weight in a very efficient manner regardless of the kind of pasture they are in, according to most owners.

Carcass weight is about 57.2%, according to European research, and the daily gain for the average Simmental is 1.44kg.
