[QUOTE="sakahound, post: 945446, member: 19178"] No harm done, but none the less I do know something about the bull she is bred too. He is a young bull that was not pushed by any means, actually left to run on a poor pasture. He is a Reg. Angus sired by Bon View New Design 878 out of a cow with a high CED and low BW, with great milk. His first calf just hit the ground and it was out of a Brangus X White face (with lots of white). The calf was a 53# bull with not a drop of white, and is as healthy as a horse. As my vet told me when we were searching for a new breed of cattle, (after failing miserably with Belgian Blues, you can not get a 3/4 or above calf out without a pull or C-Section), my vet said I do not care what breed you get as long as the calf is small and alive!! We knew it was time to quit BBs when we started getting the overflows from vets saying call them they are the best calf pullers in the county, (not a good reputation LOL). By the way we had a great market for our BB's .10 over premium with min of 50% blood, but not worth the headache. We now only have Reg Angus, but the "skunk" cow came with a small group from a dear man that was better suited to raising chickens. We are not planning on keeping her as a foundation, nor are we planning on showing her :D, just want to find her a good home as she is a big pet and would make a good safe cow around a family farm, but was just not sure what to call her. Do not want to take that gentle of a cow to a barn as she surely would end up hamburger. I love good type, small calves, but have NO room for angry cows.
