[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 645266, member: 2308"] Skin color is related to coat color, that is base coat color. Red cows have reddish/brownish skin(not truly pink) Notice the eye pigment of this calf, partly pink (white hair) and partly brownish(red haired) [ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC02472.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] Pink skin will be under white haired areas, most especially in spotted areas, say white faced, color sided pattern (white park, longhorn), spotted (shorthorn, simmental) This link shows some White Park cattle, areas where they have black hair is black skinned and areas where the hair is white is pink skinned. [url=http://whitecattle.org/2006%20KILE.htm]http://whitecattle.org/2006%20KILE.htm[/url] and of course, black skin will be under black haired areas [ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC02632.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] If you crossed a White Park with a hereford, you would get a white faced animal with white down the back and belly and dark sides (could be solid, could be roaned or could be spotted) [/QUOTE]
