Red Simmental
The Red Simmental evolved from strains of Simmental and Black Simmental displaying more red colouring on the head, body and legs. Importantly, they possess red eye pigmentation.
Qualifying Purebred Red Simmentals, with at least 15/16 Simmental content, are registered in the Society's Red Simmental Register.
Red Simmentals are particularly useful in crossing with other red coated breeds and composites to retain the red colour while exploiting the many production advantages of the Simmental.
Red Simmentals possess all the valuable traits of the Simmental breed, differing only in coat colour, which is predominantly red and with less white markings than the Simmental.
Most are solid red in colour.
Most are Polled.
