Not aware of any novelty interest in such a calf.
I don't think pink skin would be a breeding protocol for anyone.
But who knows? :welcome:

i dont see the pink you were talking about...As far as the breed i am not even familiar with the breed (but guessing they are gray). What color are his eyes? that should tell you if it is albino?

I'd like to see her.
Certainly, if you continually breed silver murray greys with silver murray greys, the pigment gets lighter and lighter and yes, you can get some calves that are pretty well white. You really should cross your silver cows to dark grey/chocolate bulls to keep that pigment dark.

I wouldn't say she's rare, and I also wouldnt say keep her. She will have issues with sunburn due to her pink skin. Dark skin is always preferable.

I too would like to see a pic

I've seen a lot of white Murray Grey calves/cattle with black noses, but none of them had pink skin that I recall. I can't help you with the rare part, but I don't think I would be holding onto her because of the sunburn/skin cancer issues.
