Looks like either or both. Just a typical crossbred baldy

going on the head . gonna take a shot a say hereford

 

[bigbull338]

i say she is hereford.

 

[Jovid]

I agree with dun......a red crossbred female

I was say simmi or crossbred. Look at the white on the tailhead.

 

[texast]

I'm gonna have to go with hereford cross.

We got her as a recipient cow, expecting her to be a Simmy, but her small ears make me think she's got something else in her. Do Hereford's have smaller ears? She's a great momma, regardless. I'm just not familiar with the typical color pattern of Hereford's vs. Simmy's.

O, I know she is a Hereford X Simmental! But if I was had to put my money on one I would say Simmental.....but she looks like a Simm. Cross.......the head and ears are a bit smaller than a simmental would normaly have.... but the body appears to be "built" like a simmental

 

[Freddie]

I'd say a Sim cross

My bets on Simmental. Too much bone for Hereford. She may have been upgraded with Herefords - getting the smaller ears.

Crossbred, horned Hereford cow, red Shorthorn bull (polled). Had a cow that looked like this one. Would you call that a herefhorn or a shortferd?

 

[Jovid]

Can I ask a dumb question? What difference does it make?

She is a red and white crossbred female.

 

[TexasSimmentals]

I do think that she has some simmental AND hereford in her lines somewhere

She is a red and white crossbred female.

We are a very small simmental operation. All of our cows are registered Simmental. It really doesn't make a difference. We have just been trying to guess what she is since she came to us, wondering if there was something obvious about her that would point to one breed or another. Obviously there isn't. As I said before, she is doing a great job raising the embryo calf we bought her for. Just wish we knew more about her.
Thanks for the guesses.

Simmi would be my guess

 

[DOC HARRIS]

Sim. Look for the "subtle" phenotype.

(Hint: Inside left hind leg coloration.)

I think she has at least some Hereford in her.

 

[Australian Cattleman]

Looks like either a Simford or a Beefmaker,both the same breeding anyway. First cross Simmental Hereford. We had a few cows like this,they were good cows. We are going to buy a Simmental bull later this year or next to breed us a few more first cross females like this cow.

Semmi or Semmi x Hereford
