any guesses on breed?

[monkeywerkz]

Took a picture of a cow, and am wondering the breed. Any ideas? She is approximately 3 years old, and is the all black cow in the foreground.

Thanks for your help.

Whooheeee! Would you check out those mountains! I can't imagine walking outside and seeing a view like that!

 

[greenwillowherefords]

The view is what I like!
The cow could be any of the dozen or so breeds that now come in black varieties, or any combination of them, unless there is some detail I'm missing-it's kind of hard to get a complete view of her when I have to scroll so far either way to see her.

I'm kinda tired of lookin at mountains,cactus,palm trees and sand. Lookin forward to black earth,oak trees,green pastures and cooler temperatures. :lol:

Muldoon
She sure aint a very big one. What, about 850 lb'er.
She may be one of those cows that weans about 60% of her own wt.
What'd her calf wean at.

 

[MULDOON]

The calf was born in feb. We sold the calf in August, He weighed 500 and went for .97, So we sold him at about 180 days , That is less then the Typical wean age ?

Monkeywerks, I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of resizing your photo so we can all see it better.

Many people could use that kind of cow.
She's the money makin kind.

Black must be Angus eh. ;-)

 

[monkeywerkz]

Sorry about that, I should have resized the picture before I posted. Thanks for doing that for me.

I kind of felt the cow was nothing more than "heinz 57" myself, although I thought it was worth the opinion of the good folks on this board.

Muldoon -- I've got one like that and wish they were all like her. Mine is about 10 years old and looks more like a heifer, but she has given me a nice calf each and every year, with a calving interval of about 11 months. She stays in good shape herself and without a doubt raises the largest calf, as a % of her own weight, of all the cows I own. And she comes real close to raising the best/biggest calf overall. Be glad you have that one, even if some "expert" comes by and scoffs at her!

 

[MULDOON]

Thanks , We are happy with her!
Happy enough , that I'm hoping she'll drop a Heifer this time 8) :lol: :cboy:

She looks like a Saler or a Saler /Angus. Scull shape says so anyway.

 

[MULDOON]

Saler?? Are they polled?

She is polled , I allways thought that the white on the udders , was a angus indicator.
But her color is a dark cherry , almost a gert color.

 

[ollie]

Not yours Muldoon the other one. The Black cow.Yours looks like a red poll to me. She is probably not but that is what she looks like.
