[QUOTE="waihou, post: 489699, member: 6511"] Thanks for kind comments-we do have a few that we would rather not have "in the front paddock" don't we all!? We also have quite a few black ones, and they are frowned on over here in Murray Greys, although accepted for registration. The Society reckons we are known for being Grey-not Black ;-) However some cows are pretty good types with good EBV's and DNA so it would be a shame to cull their black offspring. There are now 3 black cows with calves too, but no black cows have had black calves. Perhaps we could export them to your side-I'm sure the beef wouldn't taste any different whatever the coat colour. OK Jeanne, you're very welcome to use any photos you wish! We may use the bull calf on a few unrelated animals, but his sire has been our main herd sire for 4 years, so a lot are his half sibs. His mother is mated to a new young bull with good EBV's this year, so we're hoping she will throw another good 'un. Our main outlet for bulls is for dairy herd heifer mating and his BW EBV is below standard-so that is where he may be destined-or the National Beef Bull Sale in May '09 if he is a standout at yearling stage :D [/QUOTE]
