[Jovid]

Anyone want to guess the breed of the sire to this 3 month old calf?

 

[Dixieangus]

calf looks like a brangus oh i have got to say it angus... But i know im wrong

 

[Santas and Duhram Reds]

I am going to say a red breed. Maybe Santa, Red Brangus, or Beefmaster.

 

[3waycross]

Iam gonna go way out on a limb and say RED POLL.

 

[upfrombottom]

Tarentaise

 

[Aero]

I would say Aubrac, but his rump isnt wide enough... :cowboy:

That White Park influenced cow can throw a calf with a multitude of colors. My wife inherited one and she has thrown solid black calves and white spotted calves when bred to a black Limousin bull. I bet that calf might be sired by one of Jovid's good Red Poll bulls. If it is, it just shows that Red Polls have a place in our beef world.

I am saying Brangus, I think that little guy has too much loose skin to be Red Poll :?: .

[Jovid]

Any more guesses before I let you know?

 

[VanC]

My first thought was that it looked like an off color Murray Grey so I'll go with that.

 

[curtis]

I,m color blind so i can,t tell what color the calf is so i,ll take a guess. Red Poll.

 

[gabbyellepaige]

Santa Gertrudis!

 

[Jovid]

BC, 3waycross and Curtis are correct. Below is a picture of the sire. One of our Red Poll bulls

BC,

You are correct when you say

it just shows that Red Polls have a place in our beef world.

Most people don't realize what Red Polls will do as a cross on any breed.

 

[curtis]

Good looking bull Mr. John, a friend is thinking about putting a Red Poll bull on his Beefmaster cows. That should be a great cross.

We sold a son out of this bull to a guy down by Ft Smith AR that did just that. He loves the calves because they all look the same.
