Geocache Description:

Cows have been with us since the early Neolithic period, occupying an important role in our development as a society and culture. This is in tribute to that ubiquitous bovine that has made such an important contribution to the history of the wild, wild, west, including some of histories more famous mavericks .

This Swiss breed is among the oldest and most widely distributed in the world. They have been raised in the U.S. since the late 1800s, but their popularity waned until the late 1960s.

Most Simmentals are red and white, but there are no color restrictions on the breed. They are known for rapid growth development, milk production, and large size. Although primarily used as dairy cattle in Europe, American Simmentals are bred for beef production. The breeds population of 41 million shows the ability of the breed to satisfy different cattle needs throughout the world. Simmental is the second largest breed in the world, passed only by the Brahman.
