Similar to what I just had today from this old sim bred cow. She's always had solid colored calves before with angus bulls. She and our newer SimAng apparently produce a more interesting calf. Prob will raise him as a beef rather than take the sale barn hit..cowgirl8":1k6tmw4x said:

Angus sired heifer.
Heifer out of Angusx cow, sired by Angusx bull.
Limox cow with her bull calf, sired by Angusx bull.
And one calf sired by not very common breed: INRA95. He was out of dairy cow. However kill-out was 58%. Unfo
rtunately he wasn't heifer and we haven't used more that breed's straws.
Here, mixed groups do alright but they do sort off spotted, skunktail, horned and Shorthorn chromed calves from the groups. They don't trust spots since there are lot of Dairy X Beef cross calves sold at there.holm25":1fhlcgs3 said:Here u get $0.09 more per hundred weight on a black baldy than a red one. They won't even let u sell a single white calf in a group of black calves. They will separate them out into different corrals.
