[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 663465, member: 852"] She is an angus/Hol cross. The string on her leg is because she's been a dry cow at the dairy (I only got her back Thursday) and if she gets in with the milking herd, it reminds the milkers she's dry. I suspect the spots came from the Holstein side, but he looks like a standard not-F1 black bally to me. I actually wanted a bull calf, kinda hoping I can talk one of my brothers into taking him in 4H next year; no one will ever be able to tell he's 1/4 Holstein. :P As to the cow, this'll probably be her last calf -- you can't see it in the pics, but she has a bad case of lumpy jaw I haven't been able to get cleared up. I'm starting sodium iodide treatment next week, couldn't use it before since she was bred and I didn't want to abort this calf. Been a nice cow though. She settled second service to AI (sexed semen) as a 14 month old heifer (she's the cow who gave me the solid black 3/4 holstein bull last year) and settled first service to AI last year while raising 3 calves on just pasture. She'll be 3 years old next month. [/QUOTE]
