ABOUT THE BREED

About the Simmental

The Simmental, also called Fleckvieh, is suitable for double use. With appropriate treatment, Simmental cattle offer a milk yield that is comparable to that of the dairy cattle. Additionally a consistent beef yield is heeded. The Fleckvieh’s milk and beef yield is guaranteed by their fitness, fertility, vitality, persistence and life span.

Demographically, the Simmental cattle has the largest distribution in Austria with 1.6 million animals. These are distributed from mountain regions to the eastern flatlands.
