Quick question for the seasoned breeders on here. A young man the other day asked me a question that I was not comfortable in answering him. His question was this; he has a group of first generation herf/angus heifers and was wanting to know what the calves would be if bred back to a herf. Would the calves remain black hided or would they be red or would it be a mixture of some black and some red? Now for the next question that I would add; what if you bred those same cows back to a black angus bull. Would you loose the white face or just loose some of it? I know that some will think that anyone who has been raising cattle for quite a while should know this, but my only experience with herfs was as a kid on my grandpa's farm about 35 years ago and he never kept any of the baldies his was raising.
