[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 1152729, member: 14282"] Katherine the Braunvieh do display some degree of sexual color difference just not to the same degree as the Tarentaise or Parthenaise or as mentioned by Taurus, Jersey also. Once you cross them then the color combinations will be variable depending on what they are crossed with. Typically the Angus Braunvieh cross is a very dark brown color. Houstoncutter, isn't that Parthenaise bull quite the specimen! Definitely quite the crest, though his testicular development appears to be less than one would expect given the degree of secondary masculine character expressed overall. But that seems to be typical when one gets into extreme muscle development. Limo, Blues, and Pies in general all seem to have limited scrotal development. I would like to think I am raising good cattle and that Canadians are in general also. :) As you mention their does seem some what less breed and color biases here in Canada. As for me, anyone who has seen my the variety in my herd knows I must be essentially color blind. I have few color or breed biases, though I do have a few. :) Abrauny, you would have to ask. :nod: We needed some more cows, I have always liked Tarentaise in general and had good results with some of the AI sires we used in the 90's as far as cross bred females goes especially.
