What breed?

Postby Brendon on Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:51 am

Hola! Does anybody know what breed or cross these are? There's lots of them on the common near me this week. I first thought they were Herefords but now I'm not so sure. Sorry the pic is not very clear. Mum has horns. Thank you :D Image

I'd guess a Charlois crossed with a short horn.

Just going by the fact you thought the cows were Herefords and the looks of that calf, I'd say Simmental or at least Simmental cross.

I didn't even notice the cow in the back. The cow could be several crosses which makes the calf even more crossed up.

LOL. I thought the "thing" behind the calf was a round bale.

Thanks for the super-quick responses. I think I've worked out how to do the photo thing properly now, so here are some in a decent size. Second photo is the calf's mum. Third photo is a different animal. Sorry about previous attempt. :oops:

I would say old school Simi, as long as the third picture is not related.

My guess is that it's a herd of commercial cattle with a simmental bull. We see lots of that type around here.

I'd agree with the Sim influence in the first two pics. The third pic is a dairy animal of kinds, perhaps Brown Swiss influence. You will have to find out and let us know ;-) .
It may look like I'm doing nothing, but I'm actively waiting for my problems to go away.
