Between 1967 - 1994 over 70 Simmentaler animals were imported from Germany & Austria. With Fleckvieh as base South African type Simmentalers have been bred. We started our Simbra stud in 1984 by breeding Brahman bulls to top Simmentaler cows. Most of our animals are 5/8 Simmentaler, 3/8 Brahman. We believe this to be the best combination in terms of adaptation and total performance.

Fertility is the number one selection criteria. Breedplan breeding values are most important to us. Once again we strive for balanced breeding: Average size calves at birth with above average growth, medium size mature mass and enough milk.
