These are some non-black breeds that i love!
Chianina: White; largest catle in the world; may mature to 6ft. at shoulder and 4000lbs. Often used for crossbreeding to add size to other cattle.

Charolais: White, thick-muscled cattle. Bulls often bred to cows of other breeds to creat outstanding crossbred beef calves.

Blonde d' Aquitaine: Large; light tan colored; noted for fast growth, carcass quality, calving ease and fertility.

Dexter: Smallest cattle in the world 750-1000lbs, 36-44" high at the shoulder. Quiet, easy to handle, and give rich milk; perfect for small acreage.

Belted galloway: Polled; very hardy; heavy winter hair coat; shed in moderate heat, leaving enough hair to protect against biting insects; long-lived; cows often produce calves until age 15-20.

Scotch Highland: Small with long, shaggy hair and impressive horns; hardy in snow and cold weather; long forelock protects eyes from flies.

Belgian-blue: The Belgian Blue is a large sized animal with rounded outline and prominent muscles. The breed is known for its quiet temperament. Belgian Blue Beef is famous for its impressive muscling which is commonly referred to as "double muscling". Belgian Blue Beef outclasses all other beef breed in carcass yield (up to 80%).

And for color i love blue roan

I still recall those 8 Chi's we bought to feed one year back in the late 80's when I was still a teenager. Tried to jump out of a 12 foot Frost Fence. Nearly made it to. Couldn't handle them at all. They cleared anything under 8 feet. Just had to leave the gate open into the corral when they were fat and come around the back way and hope one had walked into the Chute. Slame that frost fence shut and load em up and head to town. Took 5 weeks to get them all loaded. They sure gained quickly though.

Okay, this is my opportunity to post photos of these British Whites I looked at recently. As my daughter thinks they're cute, and I don't like black, I think I'll get a few. Don't know if they're the greatest cattle, but it should be fun. The owner says people often stop and look at them. Should be no risk of sunburn or cancer eye, and they should be cooler in summer.

Here's a photo from the internet:

Blonde d' Aquitaine: Large; light tan colored; noted for fast growth, carcass quality, calving ease and fertility.

This breed is one of my favourite terminals. Looks like the cow had some six calves.

 

[ANAZAZI]

lots of beautiful cattle!
Also note that the huge chianinas are oxen, a fact that adds to their already extreme size.
Also note that the belgian blue bull is old (at least five years), And extremely over fed ( There is no visible lines between the muscles.

Awwwww djinwa those BW are gorgeous.

We only have one black calf in our herd at the moment. Called Blackie. Not an Angus though

Here are some of the others.

[randiliana]

Now that is a soggy calf, Randi!

He is so. But, he should be for what his BW was, 130 lbs and 6 days early. His mama has a tendancy towards high BWs, but she came close to overdoing it this time! We'd like our son to use him in 4H this time around, if he does 4H again.

Here's a more recent photo of him, taken July 17. He sure didn't want to co-operate at all for photos though.

It seems that his dam isn't doing the best job on him...?
