[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1610430, member: 24816"] Unfortunately, the “Hereford look” can be pretty much debatable these days. I have had 3/4 Hereford calves from BWF cows that “look” more Hereford than some known Herefords. They commonly now have goggle eyes and solid red necks and legs so it can be hard to differentiate those in a commercial setting. When we had dairy cows and used Hereford bulls, the HolsteinX ones would typically have much more white. The JerseyX would be have minimal white except for the face. The faces could be solid white or have goggle eyes, the shades of red could vary greatly as well from a real dark to a bright rich shade of red that in each case was noticeably different than why one would expect a straight Hereford to be. Some of those could also have brindle markings too. The phenotype was also different in that they were taller and retained some visible dairy breed looks. I have posted this individual calf before due to her unusual markings. She is from “straight bred Hereford” bull and cow. Also had a similar marked calf two years ago from a mating of the same sire and a half sister to the dam of this calf.
