[QUOTE="Crazy Farmgirl, post: 949915, member: 17302"] the other morning I was surprised to find momma and this little guy in the pasture. Not only was momma not due for a few more weeks but he appears to be the mailmans...both dam and sire are supposedly fullblood herefords. Now I am no expert but I've never seen a hereford with this color pattern..is it possible for hereford to throw such color?? My thoughts are that one of the parents is NOT full hereford as I was told (they are not registered) [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/2012-08-30_20-29-11_921.jpg[/img] [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/2012-08-30_20-22-05_283.jpg[/img] Have a neighbor who runs some holstein in his dairy herd been teasing him about sneaking over to knock up my cows or that maybe he botched the banding of the one holstein steer I have from him! :shock: Good news is he was healthy even though he was early, dam's milk had not come in when he hit the ground but it did come on strong the next day. Dam is 11 yrs old and this is the first bull calf she's ever had (he's a steer now). She is starting to show her age in having to work a little harder to keep condition but is an excellent mother and has great calves so we'll see how she does raising this one and keeping up through the winter...may be her last one.
