About Simmental Only in the United States are Simmental measured and selected totally for efficient, economical production of quality beef. Unlike most of the European performance programs involving Simmental cattle where emphasis is on the measurement of milk production. 1. ASA has developed performance programs that focus on meat production. 2. ASA was the first breed association to publish a sire summary. 3. The American Simmental resulting from this effort meets today's demand for a beef animal that can thrive under a variety of conditions. 4. They have bred-in ability to adapt to hot and cold temperatures, to dry or humid climates, to range conditions or confinement. 5. The American Simmental Association has been innovative and flexible in allowing for breeder selectivity in all programs. 6. No color restrictions are imposed. Performance has always been given far greater emphasis than color or other superficial attributes. 7. American Simmental have evolved from a wide genetic base and only a small proportion of any generation is truly genetically superior. 8. The larger the population base, the greater the potential for selection of superior individuals. 9. Through innovative programs, such as performance testing, carcass evaluation, total herd enrollment and a nationwide sire summary evaluation, the opportunity to select for improvement of economically important traits is enhanced ever more. 10. The American Simmental is genetically engineered toward efficient, economical production of tender, lean, palatable beef -- the product in demand by consumers today. ASA Programs Carcass Merit Program - Feed conversion data and calving ease research establishes Simmental as a beef industry leader combining growth and carcass value with outstanding cow traits. ASA's research is backed by the most extensively documented and databased genetics in the industry. In addition to high value purebred cattle, Simmental genetics' flexibility allows operations to capture genetics from unique British and Continental sources in order to produce specialized animals for cattle exhibitors and other niche markets in the beef industry. SimAngus - Refers to cattle with the following characteristics: the animal is at least ¼ Simmental and ¼ Angus or Red Angus and no more than ¾ Simmental or no more than ¾ Angus or Red Angus; the animal’s parents are both registered in the database of the American Simmental Association; and the sum of Simmental and Angus or Red Angus blood in the animal is at least ¾. Simangus Do The Best Job - Dan Reider, Editor, SimTalk The function of crossbreeding is to maximize heterosis, or hybrid vigor, but it is important to utilize breeds whose genetics will compliment each other. SimAngus is the convenient way to capture heterosis and value. This crossbreeding system has the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits. No two breeds offer more commitment to profitability.
