Mamma is an old baldy that has never
thrown anything but all black or a baldy.
And from the looks of the calf
( the no switch tail and his markings)
I would say daddy is one of the three stooges.
Most likely Curly seen here on the left.

Looks like some of the calves we had this spring. Out of Black Baldy (Hereford X Angus) cows bred Shorthorn. We have also seen the odd one like that that out of the Angus x Hereford cross, and, especially, out of Black Baldy cows bred Hereford.
awww that a cute calf, it can come live at my place anytime
we had one that looked something like that a few years ago. It was out of a holstein x jersey cow bred hereford. And another one this year except she has more black on her face out of a holstein x hereford cow bred red angus.
Cute cute! Love the color pattern.. would make a great wallhanging! Unfortunately they'll probably dock you at the sale barn for it.. anything that is black and white they'll call a "holstein".
The horsey folks would love that pattern....
I'd love to have him in my pasture...just don't get the response to the pictures at the market when you have all black calves.
I lost a dinner or two this past spring betting with Susie on the calves colors.

I got a couple like that right here in the Great State of Oklahoma. Out of black cows and black bulls. I guessed at some point an ancestor was a Holstien beef cross, but what do I know.
