Brahman x Longhorn heifer calved overnight. Being bred to a BWF bull, we had no idea what the calf would look like.
Was kind of surprised to see a pretty much solid light red calf.
It’s a bull, and will have to stay that way until the heifer simmers down.

A economical mama that will make you a nice profit.

She just might come to be one of your favorite momma cows one day @Ky hills . He might not grow off as big as your others, but I bet you he will be as well taken care of as any of the others. If you were able to get her up and fill with her before she calved, you will be able to again in a week or so. And I can just about guarantee you that no coyotes, buzzards, etc will be able to get that calf, Or any others in the pasture with her!

Congratulations on the new COW!
What a good mama she is. On a fiesty one, I'll bring em both in the pen and sort the calf into a small pen to work while mama watches.

As an aside...
Does that cow use the horns on your other cows?
That new little black cow I got sure does. She's gentle as can be around people. But don't take no sass from NO cow!

How did her udder do? Better than u were expecting?

When we bought that heifer, she was a little scrawny thing about 350 lbs. she took off growing she’s the tallest cow in the herd currently, she’s not the thickest but has filled out considerably compared to what she was.
Yeah I think she’ll simmer down in a bit. My other Brahman crosses have always settled down.
I actually like to keep some Brahman and or Longhorn type cattle for the purpose of coyote prevention. I hope they are effective against buzzards too that would be great. I believe though we’ve had buzzards kill calves of other cows with coyote chasing cows in the herd.
Those buzzards can come in and surround a cow and new calf in such numbers that the cow can’t them all off, and they just wear the cow down, if they aren’t found in time.

Actually, she doesn’t seem to bother the other cows, she doesn’t even use her horns to push her way to feed. I hope she don’t learn to use them.

If looks could kill! Plus, the horns.

How's that baby doing? Has your cow mellowed out a little yet?
