Early records indicate that Simmental cattle were the result of a cross between large German cattle and a smaller breed indigenous to Switzerland. The name Simmental is derived from the name of the area where the cattle were first bred-the Simme Valley which is situated in the Berner Oberland in Switzerland.ecords show that a few animals were exported to Italy as early as the 1400's. During the 19th century, Simmental were distributed through most of Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Russia, ultimately reaching South Africa in 1895.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Over 800 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide, some of which adapted to the local climate, others which were bred by humans for specialized uses. Breeds fall into two main types, regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species.Bos indicus (or Bos taurus indicus) cattle, also called zebu, are adapted to hot climates.Bos taurus (or Bos taurus taurus) are the typical cattle of Europe, north-eastern Asia, and parts of Africa â they are referred to in this list as taurine cattle, and many are adapted to cooler climates.he Madura breed of Indonesia may have banteng in its parentage. In addition to these fertile hybrids, there are infertile crossings such as the male Dzo of Nepal, a cattle-yak crossing which is bred for agricultural work-like the mule they have to be continually bred from the parent species.
