Ive heard there no such thing as a dumb question, you just proved there is.
Depends. What do the 2 of you agree on in regards to breeding--IF you have a different breed than he does or even if you have a different take on what your goals are even if all animals in pasture are breed compatible? Free pasture is hard to beat as long as it doesn't include too many downsides.Bovine12":2b7u2iit said:i have another question i have a guy that lets me keep my cattle in a pasture with his and i want to go out on my on but i dont have hay or a lot of grass or any minerals should i just keep them in his pasture?

if she's a smokey then she carries one white color gene from the charolais and one black gene from the angus and what you see is not diluter but co-dominance. If the calf by the hereford bull inherited the black gene from the smokey dam and the red gene from the hereford then the calf would be black hided as black is dominant to red.
