Are they friesan x Herefords you got there.
Don't look like the got the holstein influence from here .
I put a Hereford bull to the left overs from my dairy herd sale in 2002, which were more frieshan than holstein.
A couple of the original cows lines, always throw black calves, which I always keep. 🙂
The current bull, who is the softest one yet.

Nice bull. That reminds me of something one of The Genus guys once told me . In the far off days when it was still called M.M.B. and when he first started working there as an inseminator nearly all the dairy herds in The U.K. were British Friesians. The beef bulls they used then were to use his words: " Invariably Hereford, Angus, Lincoln Red.....Hereford, Angus, Lincoln Red....Hereford, Angus, Lincoln Red, it never seemed to change for years and years and then all of a sudden The Holstein cow appeared Roy and I think you can guess the rest" :facepalm:
