Brother in laws commercial herd. Bull is solid black, mostly Angus but don't know what it's crossed with. Mom and calf look a little out of place in the pasture.

I would say probably British White.

Love the black ears on the calf.

vey nice calf is it a bull?

I'll have to wait until they make their way up my direction. My SIL took this pic when they were 4 acres away from me.

British White is the calves daddy.

I own british white and have a few crossbred calves.

He may be docked on color, but you will be very surprised on the growth of the calf.

I friend of mine had a bull calf out of a brangus cow.
Can you say tank! The calf at 5 months old had to weigh 600lbs. He was very huge.

If the calf is a heifer, she would make a good replacement. A friend of mine had some halfblood british whites in her herd. The neighbors angus bull got in, an dnone of the cfalves looked like british whites. They were black or black motleys. She noticed that the halfblood cows didnt pass the bw color if bred to a none britihs white.

I went back and reread are you sure there is not a british white bull next door?

If you are in Farmersville, the british white breeder that I said had halfblood cows lives in farmersville. Maybe one of her bulls got in(She had one that liked to go through fences). There are like Jerseys when it comes to getting cows bred.

If both parents were pure enough for heterosis to have a significant effect, typically calves from bulls of nondescript breeder just grows and looks like calves from bulls of nondescript breeding....

The closest neighbor has a Longhorn bull. Spoke with BIL and he hasn't been up close to sex it yet, but says it does have a couple or three black spots on its neck. BRAFORDMAN, I've not seen a British White around, but the rural route stretches a long way around this little town, so there could easily be a herd that I've not seen or heard about.

Somewhere, back there, either British White or White Galloway. I'm partial to those little white ones w/ black ears and noses and feet and sometimes some freckles. The BW color genes will come down a long way on cross-breds. Cute babies and good cattle.

Looks like some calves off of a LH cow and an Angus bull. Fellow up the road has 200 LH with Angus bulls running with them.

 

[Taurus]

It's hard to guess what breed the calf is since it is crossbred. But I know this one for sure....it's an Angus cross!

Maybe that -- we don't have LH's around here, but they can be colorful.

I walked out to them a few minutes ago and momma wasn't having me very close to the calf. Best I can tell the calf looks to be a heifer. A better look at momma shows me a white underline and a thin skunk stripe from her rear quarter back and down to the middle of her tail.

Sounds like some herf in the woodpile too.
Just call her a mutt. Haha

a thin skunk stripe from her rear quarter back and down to the middle of her tail.

I've seen that when there's Pinzgauer in the mix.

Have a neighbor who has a few like that. All from the same family line. Interesting how in his herd that stripe is dominant. All the offspring from those 2 cows, and hte offspring's offspring have that same stripe.
