Baldy, brockle, defined

[dun]

I have her described as a goggle eye. But yes also freckled.

That's one of those deals where if you have other cows the freckles would be the distinction.

 

[Tim/South]

Around here a "white face" is usually a Hereford. Some will ask if it has feathers which would be the distinction.
A Baldy is usually a black baldy. If the body color is not black they will call it a buckskin baldy, yellow baldy or some other color.
Blotches on the face are called motley.
A red hide with a motley face (no feathers) is referred to as a Star 5, though a Star 5 is really a Gert/Hereford cross.
A red hided motley with out feathers is often called a Fancy calf. The distinction being an intentional cross for hybrid vigor.

Go three counties over or a different sale barn and the term may change. I just nod and roll with it.

One term that bothers me at my sale barn is RWF (or red baldy) which applies to Herefords and any red cattle with white marks on head.

we use the term motley faced. depends on what part of the country you live in as to what stuff is called.

Same here. I just call them motts. Never heard of brockle until I got on here.
