[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 372180, member: 5106"] Yesterday when walking through the calves I noticed one had no switch at the end of the tail.I pointed it out to my husband and he said she must have lost it or froze it.But now you have got me thinking that it might be a rat tail.I never noticed it before but perhaps that's what it is.After checking out the links on this post makes me think it possibly is.She is at Gelbstein (our vet calls her the new kosher Jewish breed).The dam is a holstein that we flushed and couldn't get her rebred to AI holstein semen so I put her in with my GV bull.Maybe the combination of the two breeds is what caused that.She is a beutiful heifer solid chocolate brown and huge a good 75lbs heavier than the other calves in her group but then she does get alot of milk.
