What breeds??????

[IluvABbeef]

Okay, I had to post another thread on this new, weird-colored calf that I've been questioning about:

I know I've been asking this on my other post, but what sort of breed(s) do you think he is? Because I haven't the slightest clue: he's obviously not shorthorn... NormandeX??? Pinzguer-NormandeX?????

This calf ain't the only one I'm curious of the breed(s) about, there's a couple others, but the pics I have of them are awful. Better pics and more ?'s tomorrow.

 

[Hill Creek Farm]

He looks like a Shorthorn.

He looks like a Shorthorn.

Those type of markings make me think Longhorn. There may not be much Longhorn in him, but the spots seem to be very dominant. Otherwise I would suggest Shorthorn, or possibly Simmental.

I think about the only thing for sure is the X part

[Frankie]

Maine-Anjou? There are still some red and white ones around.

 

[Shorthornguy]

My best guess is a Pinz- longhorn cross. Looks to be a fine animal.

 

[Aaron]

I'd say Shorthorn x Maine. Definitely some Shorthorn in there...they just have a certain look to them.

 

[r and s peckman]

The markings look similar to some milking shorthorns that I once had.

I'll do like everyone else and give a 1/2 guess. Looks like anyone of the previous guesses could be wrong or right. I have to agree with dun about the X part. I'll bet $5.00 to a donut that' is right.

Red Angus/Shorthorn. Had one that looked very similar in colour once.

 

[warpaint]

I wouldn't think its a LH X.
More likely a Shorthorn.

Who put's up the $5.00 and who put's up the donut? You can't bank on the Pinz X until you see the calf's tail!

Here you go DOC (it's another crappy pic, I know):

Considering the locale, and the other calves around the scene it isn't a bad picture. It also isn't Pinzguer genes. Your camera position is the right height from the ground, just too far to the rear of the calf.

I had a Shorthorn calf that looked like that (Mixed X) that dragged me through a bunch of rocks while I was trying to load her in a trailer in 1942! I was late for a date with my future ( and still current!) wife, and I would not let go of the halter rope! Still have the scars to show for it. But I was only 17 minutes late for the date!! Kids are nuts at times! To much testosterone and not enough sense.

If there are dairys in the area, red Hosltein is also an alternative.

I just took a long look at this calf again! If the two calves in the picture are related - I would say that this calf is a cross between Shorthorn and Simmental.

[IluvABbeef]

both pics ARE of the same calf.

 

[Rustler9]

I don't think there's any Longhorn in this calf. He just doesn't look like aLH or a LH cross to me. I would say he's Normande or Normande X.

 

[DOC HARRIS]

both pics ARE of the same calf.

I think you misunderstood my meaning. I was referring to the picture with TWO calves in it - - the LAST picture you posted.

sorry 'bout that. I don't know whether they're related, it don't seem like it. Correction: I don't LOOK like it....
