Tricolor Holstein

[CopeMan]

Satuday when I wen to the cattle market, I went around back to see some cows and thats where I saw it. I Tri-colored Holstein. It had Black and Brown spots combined. Very unusual. Has anyone else ever seen this? Can anyone explain, why this cow is tricolored?

The only "Tri-colored Holstein" that I've ever seen turned out to be a cross.

Beautiful animal and she successfully combines the best qualities of all 3 breeds. She was the result of an accidental breeding. Her dam is Jersey/Guernsey and her sire was a Guernsey/Holstein who was banded by someone who couldn't count.
