[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5145"] The lighter colored ones could have Charolais, Gelbvieh or Siimenthal in them, the wite face could be Hereford or Simmenthal. Even the darker colored ones could have Gelbvieh or Simmenthal thrown. May have even some Shorthorn. Only time will tell how they will work in your managment and environment. Sounds like just a red commercial herd of cows. You'll have some good, some bad, some not so good or bad, with luck some exceptional ones. dun > I recently purchased some bred > heifers from the West from a > cattle buyer.
