This is the boy after tipping his food over again, so annoying!! That calf is a one off, the others are good strong calves but not spivvy like her! Nothing special about the mother just quite ordinary beefshorthorn heifer, just a throw back I suppose

 

[Pigken]

Why wouldn't she be big enough? Oh My God!! She's not by a Blue x Dexter is she?!

This is result from dexter bull on blue dairy heifer, about 14 month old.

WB x Shorthorn used be a fairly common cross with sucklers around here years ago, they used to be that grey colour too

Was that WB x WBS? That cross was known as something but I can't remember what

When my old man milked he used to put beef shorthorn on Fresian cows an they’d come that slate grey colour, make good suckler’s!

A Wesh Black? Really? With blue/grey markings and white belly? He's got more shape than a WB too..

He's got his Welsh curls on his poll plus hairy ears, though. With a strong BB stamp.

Yeah he’s Belgian blue x so that’s where the shape an colour come from, as primmi said he’s got the head an coat of the WB and the strong feet an legs too!! Nice shape from the BB, these are his first calves with me, he’s been out all winter on kale an straw with the heifers, just brought him in for testing!

 

[AGN76]

Do his calves just lie there wishing to die or take after the blue?

 

[matthew]

Ho Ho - I thought for a minute, we'd got another 'Jaegarbomb'. Nice calves btw.

Well they were all born outside to first time heifers an I didn’t have to suckle any
