[QUOTE="simme, post: 1786758, member: 40418"] Deja vu. I posted the above pictures of some calves last year in a thread about mongrel crossbred bulls. Had the same comments about copper and needing a better mineral. That may be correct, but the bull calves last year had an average weaning weight of 755# and heifer calves averaged 668#. No respiratory or other health issues with the calves. Most cows bred back AI on first or second service. Calves shed that red hair as they get a little age on them. I wish they were bright colored from birth, but don't see any bad issues with their color. Maybe we have different pigments in the south. A recent picture of a couple replacements from that calf crop (one is the first calf pictured above). No more red. Same minerals and management. Calves this year have that red tinge hair again.
