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.
Simmental ranks as the number one continental breed in almost every trait according to the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (USDA MARC). That is why they cross so well with Angus, the number one British breed. Simmental are a dual purpose breed known for above average growth, muscling, lean meat yield and milk.
