[QUOTE="WVcowpatty:), post: 69526, member: 1304"] Two years ago we purchased a registered hereford cow with a heifer calf at her side (at a Registered Hereford Sale). We absolutely love them both. They are the only 2 registered animals we have at the present time, but are leaning towards purchasing more herefords in the future. Last year we crossed each of these with a registered angus bull. The cow hasn't had her calf yet - but should any day. The heifer had a heifer calf this past Sunday. Nice small calf (which is great for a first time heifer). Now for my question. The calf is mottle faced - I think that's the term. Her entire face isn't white. The jaw is white and most of one side of her face. And a bit of connected white above her eye. Her belly is white. From what I've read, I thought that no matter what your crossed a registered hereford with, you would ALWAYS end up with a white face?? I'd appreciate any comments regarding your experience with this. The face color won't make a difference as to whether we keep this heifer or not... but I'd like to know from someone who's 'been there, done that". Thanks for any replies, comments, etc. [/QUOTE]
