What Breeds Are In This Cow

MY best bet would be she's a 3/4 Char out of a smoke colored cow. Pretty dang good looking cow though-- of course her teats could be shorter but as long as her calf is able to nurse em, she'll make you money.
 
I have just sold her 490 pound bull calf off of her, he brought 2.20 per lb. Yes, her teats are larger than I want but that has come with age she is an 11 year old. She hasn't ever had any trouble nursing her babies or any calving difficulties at all. Hopefully she'll maintain that success a little while longer. Funny thing is she is out a 1st calving heifer that we gave a needle of lute to slip the calf but it didn't work and this cow is the result. Only time we've had a problem with lute not working.
 
She is mostly Gelbvieh, Foundation Simmental, and Red Poll. Her Sire was a Register Gelbvieh. A Gold Gelbvieh that we bought from David Slaughters in Fredonia, Ky. The next highest percentages are Foundation Simmental, and then Red Poll. Should be a touch of Chianina, Poll Hereford, and Black Angus in there too if not bred out but nothing else. Her mother was a light red and white baldy, maternal grand mother was a blonde and white face baldy sired out of a blonde white face Foundation Simmental Bull.

My guess is that the GV and the Fleckvieh carried the diluter gene. What color calf does she usually throw?

I believe there's a lesson in there somewhere about abortion.
 
Her last calf was a solid smoke gray. She has some red and light red calves with white faces. Have raised a solid blonde or gold heifer from her and sold as a replacement to another commercial cattleman. Have used mainly Solid Heterozygous Black Simmental bulls on her. When bred to a Homozygous Black bull her calves tend to be a little darker gray and more mousey color. Her herself when she was young was a cream or light red with the full white face.
 
The first Simmental bull I used in1968 was a bull called Parisian. He through some light yellow cattle. Does he have. Any active defendants out there today? Mel

descendants?
 
The Foundation Simmental Bull of ours was a large blonde or tan bull with a big large white face. Wish I knew his pedigree, the guy we bought him from I think had lost his papers. Either that or he never was registered. I remember he had calves on the farm when we purchased him therefore he must have been around 3yrs old. At the time we were only going to sell commercial calves at auction and keep only replacement females for ourselves. I really liked that bull, he was just a great big docile baby, did have some calving troubles that was the down side. I remember we called him Sand Pebbles. I was somewhat young when we purchased that bull so I'll talk to dad and see if I'm forgetting something or if he knows more.
 
I was still in college(sdsu) in 1968. I trained to be a technician for Curtis Breeding Service which gave me access to parisien who came into Canada first. Soon Sultan and Beat came into Canada and I used them. I had to sell my first calf crop to make a down payment on my first place and all my beef cattle in 1973 so I could switch to dairy cattle so I could support a family. I operated a dairy for 32 years. I feel very blessed to be able to return to beef cattle for the remainder of my career. I deactivated my old life time membership, 445 which makes me a real old timer in ASA. Mel
