[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1733962, member: 8202"] I actually asked my friend if her bull was red, but nope, he's black. I don't know enough about genetics to guess whether he might have a red gene somewhere in him (but black would be dominant, right?). And [I]he[/I] doesn't have horns. He's got three calves on the ground so far, including Molly, and she said all three of them have horns. Of course, their mothers have horns, but it was my understanding that an Angus daddy would produce polled calves regardless of the mother, and that's what prompted me to ask in the first place. It just seemed weird to me. I don't really care, I really need another cow, and my friend is giving Molly to me so she doesn't have to sell her to an unknown situation. She's cutting down to two cows, and Molly would be an extra, so she'll have to go. I have to pay for her shipping, so she's not "free," but she's reasonable, and my friend knows she'll be loved and cared for, and that's all that matters. ;) Having had anywhere from one to six bovines on my place at all times for the past 14 years, this business of NO COWS is quite distressing to me. I have no "chores" out in the cow barn, and I'm going nuts. How will I keep my girlish figure if I don't sling poop twice a day every day? But seriously, all I want is a nice cow to give me milk and calves to take to the sale or trade for hay (if they're heifers), and Molly should fit the bill quite nicely. And she has red hair like me, so we'll be a perfect match. ;) I'll be able to hide behind her and still peek over the top and my husband will never see me, LOL! [/QUOTE]
