New babies

[jschoolcraft86]

Two new babies born this week, I'm up to 8 this month so far. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the big groups of calves out hanging out in the pasture. It always looks like a daycare with one or two babysitters and a mob of babies.

Hi, can I ask what that cow in the second image has in her, and what the sire was of the calf .....

looking good. any problems with mamas getting them tags on?

 

[jschoolcraft86]

Both cows were from the sale barn so it's a mystery to me. The sires were some commercial brangus bulls.

The tagging has been smooth so far this year. Had some moments helping the neighbor across the road tag one of her beefmasters this week but my ladies have behaved

Ahhh....ok.

If anyone else has an idea, maybe they can pm me, or post here if your ok with that ....

Hereford is one part IMO

 

[jschoolcraft86]

I tend to agree on there Hereford. I'm curious if anyone has any insight though.

Red Baldy cross?

I'd bet she has a little bit of longhorn influence. I don't think you'd get the speckles on her brisket with any combination of Hereford and a solid colored animal.

 

[greggy]

Kingfisher, Buck Randall, your both talking about the cow ?

I might start a post in breeds about mine, she is a mysterybag, a real reverse engineering/guessgenering problem

PS...the cow could be considered a red baldy ? But that means Hereford and Red Angus.

Are longhorn not often a solid red ? Longhorn bull to Hereford to get cow, maybe ? (or vice versa)
