What makes some of your calves light in colour? Cows have good udders.

I like the heifer with alot of white. Speaking of color I see lots of "pretty" purple flowers!!!!

 

[grannysoo]

Nice looking cows!

I like the heifer in the 7th photo. Those are some good looking cattle that you have there.

Great pictures, great cattle. Thanks for the photos.

How do you like the performance of the fly tags? How would they compare to a rub? How long is the fly tag effective?

I had a couple calves this spring come out about the same color as yours - very light tan - while some other calves out of the same bull were a deep, dark red. Dams of both looked about the same. I have not noticed this much of a color difference before.

One of the light tan calves was out of the cow in my avatar. Bull is a dark red. Maybe the calves will darken as they mature? Color doesn't matter to me but I am curious about the wide difference between calves.

Thanks again. Jim

Here in Australia those that use tags for Buffalo fly usually put them on facing to the back of the ear so that it touches their body when they move their head. If they are done properly they use two.

We used a bull that was an M326 son out of a fairly light colored C&L hardwood daughter, the bull was lighter colored and his calves are all light. The other bull we used has thrown some darker red calves. Some of them have a bit more white because of the heavy keynote and 3008 breeding, we are hoping that the bull we bought will darken them up, making them a little more conservatively marked, and throw some pigment around the eyes and testicles.

Thanks for all the comments

thats 1 heck of a bull you have there.you have some well bred cows an calves as well.

 

[JHH]

would like to see the bull a little longer but other than that I like him. You have great udders on them. What kind of B.W. did you get from the 606 daughter on her calf (I think I said that right). JHH

The P606 had the second calf pictured, he weighed 78lbs.

Thanks for the comments

Nice cattle, Matt! I'm partial to the P606 daughter and her calf.

I agree with the P606 daughter.

The 3008 and the Keynotes that I know of don't throw white. Also, they throw pigment.

Us hereford farmers plant thistles otherwise our cattle do too well. ;-)
