[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1498917, member: 20754"] Thank you for the input everyone. Son of Butch, you actually got me to laugh. Farmerjan- Tony's calves when bred to light silver cows, like the ones standing behind the bull calf's mother, have been 100% silver. We get 50% silver and 50% brown/steel grey when Tony is bred to our brown Angus/Murray Grey cross cows. This particular cow is just a shade darker than the majority of our herd, but she is significantly lighter than our Angus/Murray Grey crosses. When bred to silver bulls in the past, her calves have been either a light silver or the same color as her. Historically, Tony's calves have averaged 75 lbs at birth; he has been bred to first-calf heifers and proven cows and his calves have ranged from 46 to 102 lbs. This spring, his bulls have averaged 77.5 lbs and his heifers have averaged 74.5 lbs. This calf is definitely well in the color range to be a Trigger's Champion calf. We have two of his progeny on the ground currently, and both are out of light silver cows. One is about a month old and the other is currently a 2 year old.
