Simbrah cattle are the result of an experiment combining
Simmental and Brahman cattle that began in the pastures of a few dedicated
cattlemen in the late 1960s. Their name is a combination of SIMmental and
BRAhman.
Brahman cattle contributed heat and insect tolerance,
hardiness, and excellent foraging ability, as well as maternal calving ease and
longevity. Simmental cattle complement these excellent traits with early sexual
maturity, fertility, milking ability, rapid growth and good beef
characteristics. The very docile disposition of most Simmental is also a plus
for this composite.
