Simmentals have a '''vivid gold-red coat''' colour '''with white'''. They have a white colour head and pigmentation around the eyes (often like an eye-patch).  Simmentals can be '''horned or polled'''.  They have a distinct '''heavy dewlap''' and are also heavily muscled. Simmentals are '''docile animals''' that have a '''good maternal instinct'''. They can adapt to a variety of conditions and have excellent conformation, growth rates and killing out percentage.
