[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1449188, member: 25884"] We occasionally get a rat tailed calf and it is out of a charolais/angus cross usually. If you like the heifer then don't sweat it. We usually keep them if they are nice, and sell them if we don't like them. Don't see any big difference in them during the winter and the couple that we have usually raise nice calves or they wouldn't be here. Most all "brown" heifers like that will throw a dark smokey or black calf bred to an angus in our herd so that's fine. Some places will discount them but we haven't seen much difference between the rat tail and not rat tailed if the same color. It's the color that will hurt them here as much as anything but a good smokey calf will do okay if it is a good calf. [/QUOTE]
