I am used to breeding cattle that are a single color - Angus, Limousin, Lincoln Red, and Murray Grey. However, there is one baldy cow; this cow is out of an Angus bull. As you can see in the photo, I have bred her to some things including Murray Grey.

I have not found any of these matings appealing, but this Spring she had a baldy Angus heifer. I think she looks good. I am not sure I want to start breeding white faced cattle, because you never know how the face will look.

Is there a method to breeding baldy cattle? The matings I have used on my other cattle, do not work on the baldy cow. I have taken a brown-colored Murray Grey and bred her to Red Angus to get a black calf. On the baldy cow the calf will be black, red or black does not matter. When bred to Red Angus, you lose most of the white face and get a brockle face calf. When bred to Murray Grey, you get a baldy silver calf like you see in the photo above.
If I would keep the calf for breeding, I might try a baldy Simmental: LMF Revenue Z24 ASA# 2670825. Suggestions, comments, opinions?? Thanks.
