Hmmm I think maybe someone made her "eat like a goat". Murray will have her lookin good in a few months.
I never said a cross, though a cross can also get you a grey cow with brown trim. I'm just wondering about the nose and feet and the kind of build of her wondering if maybe mama had some in her.
You aren't supposed to feed mousse to cattle.
Shes got legs like a moose!
Or Brown Swiss. I have seen Red Brahma x Brown Swiss and Red Brahma x Braunveih that looked like this.
I'd just as soon have a pasture full of these to sell as any other Brahma cross. Same thing if I was wanting Brahma crosses for brood cows.
That build is called malnourished.
Did he say how old she was?
I can tell she needs feed, but she just don't look right to be a mix of brahma and any other common beef breed. You may have stuck it on the LH guess.
Oh yeah, really good mamas and their heifer calves are worth keeping because you can get a fantastic balance in them. I had a jersey x brahma named Purdy that gave me some fantastic heifers out of simmental bulls.
I wondered about the horns, too. But, I have seen LHs and Corrientes colored like a Jersey or Brown Swiss. If you meant calf roping practice calf, yes, I have seen them no bigger than this that are approaching a year old. They were usually weaned and started roping at a couple of months old. But, Murray said it wasn't weaned yet. A Brahma calf that is weaning age,. like 6 months old, ought to be closer to 500 lbs. So maybe this one is just 3 months old or so. But, that is a lot of horn, for even a pb LH or Corr at that age. The shape and circumference puts me in mind of Watusi, but they are usually not that color...usually more painted than that. It will be interesting to see how she turns out. She will definitely develop better with @MurraysMutts than if anyone ese had bought her that day.
