I’d call her dark gray

I have a bull that would always babysit the calves while he was a yearling and two year old. He doesn’t seem to do it as much anymore, but he would often be laying with a group of 5 or 6 calves while the cows were off grazing.

If they were mine I’d take them to the next sale and sell them as bred cows. If there is a special bred cow or herd dispersal sale, it may be worth it to take them to one of those since there will likely be more people there looking for bred cattle

No matter what breed of bull you use, your odds of getting a spotted calf out of a cow like that are going to be the same (unless you're using a spotted bull obviously). Spotting genes are independent to hide color and dilution genes. Like Kenny said, yellow spots on a white hide blend in much...

Chocolate maybe isn't the right description. They looked like this This pattern and brindle are both tied to the wild gene

I used to have a black simmental bull that threw a bunch of brindle and chocolate colored calves.

They sent out an email or newsletter. It was shared on one of the beefmaster groups on Facebook awhile back which is where I saw it.

Yes, they moved the cattle back down to Texas. The sale will in February 2024 this time instead of September like they usually do.

Well here is something I haven't seen before... https://eastidaho.craigslist.org/grd/d/rigby-rare-yak-longhorn-f1-hybrid-vigor/7650462575.html

It is certainly more risky, but with that being said, one of my very best cows was bought that way. She has been a money maker for a long time now.

Hired Hand Live (the website with the sale results) is an online auction service. They provide a livestream of the auction, so when it is live you can listen and watch. They do sales all over the country, although they seem to be pretty closely tied to the longhorn industry. In the livestream...

The ones that say sold to floor were bought someone who was at the auction while the ones with a name were sold to an online bidder.

These brought some pretty extravagant prices https://www.hiredhandlivebidding.com/Fort-Worth-Stockyards-Longhorn-Auction_as89929

I would call that cow grey which would make her a diluted black.

Definitely not a charolais. To me, the cow looks like she could have a bit of braunvieh in her. The silver legs on the calf does seem consistent with the black braunvieh crosses I've seen, so that is my guess as to where the funny color came from

If the cows are out of a white charolais bull (Homozygous Diluter) then they all carry 1 diluter gene. If you bred them to a homo black bull, you could expect about half of the calves to be diluted to grey.

I will say, all of the hereford x shorthorn cows I have been around have been great calf raisers. You might end up with a couple nice heifers out of her that would be worth keeping around.
