I was flipping through a friend's books from her animal science classes at Auburn University and one said that Simmental cattle need to be managed more like dairy cattle as they are higher volume milkers and typically hard keeping. We have never messed with them much but the ones I have seen have been easy keepers even with being good milking mamas. What do you simmental breeders think of the hard keeping comment, as a breed are they any harder to keep in good shape than Charolais or American type cattle?
