Looks to me like the color came off the cow, she doesn't look full hereford, some sort of cross.

yes when you run bulls on crossbred cows the calves can come out any color. thats for sure. but its always fun to see what color they are. scott

At least the calf is solid coloured

Notice the black skin color on the nose of the cow? That's the portion of the cross where the calf got it's color.

Looks like that calf came from a "Black Charolais". :roll:

Or maybe a sneaky neighbors' bull.

Judging by the length of the head, the frame, the amount of flesh on the cow, the udder, and, to some degree, the colouring, I would say there is Brown Swiss in that cow's background. Good looking calf though.
