Oooh calves! He's lovely calf.:love You'll get some lovely black baldies...black with the white face, maybe a mottled face. Our son loves Herefords, he purchased 3 purebred Hereford heifers last spring. This is the cross with our red angus.

My Grandpa kept some Herefords. Here, they didn't have many Herefords.:confused:

The cold seemed to bring our calves early; two weeks early. :rolleyes: :barnie

Congrats!

Nice to see that little Red calf.... we raised Herefords when I was coming up... then everything shifted angus and and black baldies because that’s what the sale barn favored....

These days you could drive every road in the county and be lucky to spot a field full of red and white cows.

That little brockle faced calf brings back memories... we raised an orphaned Hereford x shorthorn cross that looked just like that.

Edit: just noticed you called it mottled faced... we always said brockled face for one like that... maybe just a regional colloquialism ... I like em either way!
 
Handsome little calf. Congratulations. I always love to see babies in the spring and summer. We live on an old dairy farm, and our neighbor whose farm is next to us, has his cows roaming our land all summer. He has switched to beef cattle in the last 10 years. We bet to walk around and look at all of the cows and calves, but don’t have to do the hard work. I am always telling friends to “come and smell our sweet dairy air,” LOL.

I have to share this somewhere... and since husband beat me to Facebook, which I’m never on anymore, and got the better pic... I’ve been eagerly waiting for this since mid January. Scratching Rhonda’s bum daily, (you should see the girls “dance” when I hit the good spot near the tail! 1600+# of wiggling cow cuteness) peering at her udder, and her back end looking for mucus. I am sure the nasty weather of late held this beautiful boy in longer than normal, because she has looked so close, on and off for the last three weeks, and he is huge! Here he is, less than an hour old, our first calf of 2019!

@aart @Eggcessive @EggWalrus @Wyorp Rock @PouleChick ... I’m sure I’m missing many ppl, but thank you for all your help and support in my chicken endeavors and adventures. I give you cute cow-cow pics, because my chickens are mostly uncooperative with the camera.
