[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 604391, member: 2653"] We'll see how she does - I'll post pics in the upcoming months. One thing though, as much as I say I don't like to retain heifer calves because it takes too long to recoup money she may be a keeper. Her moma has an excellent bag and the hereford sire had a really nice looking moma and good maternal epd's. I bred a group of the brangus girls to the hereford bull to see what quality baldies they would throw. Hopefully they'll all be heifers - and I'll sell them as bred heifers down the road. Thanks to everyone for the comments. I went back and checked on some old notes that I had taken - when the moma cow that had this "red baldy" was a heifer (2002) I had commented that she had some red tinted black hair on her topline - I actually thought she could have been mineral deficient. Seems obvious now that she's carrying the red gene. Good to know down the road - I kind of like this color. Here's a pic of the moma with last years calf: [img]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c28/cypressfarms/redbaldiesmoma.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
