Two Cows And A Calf

Anyone who has ever raised cattle knows their many ways and moods.
They sometimes have a way of being inconvenient and ornery.
On the other hand they can also bring a smile.

Doubt that calf belongs to either of those Hereford cows. The Hereford cow & Angus bull mix usually produces a "black baldy" black with white face. Nice photo though.

As someone who grew up with cows I can fully understand your description of their peronalities.
Regarding the calf's origen I would also think neither cow is it's mother. As already stated, Hereford - Black Angus crosses have some white on their heads. Out here in western US ranching country I've always heard it pronounced differently, Black Bally. They are very common here.
Enjoyed the photo, thanks for posting it.

Aren’t the cows crosses as well? Like Holstein and Hereford or maybe Holstein and Jersey (or Shorthorn)?
Nice shot, regardless! 👍

I think, but am not certain, that the two cows colorings are compatible with the Hereford breed. I don't detect any Holstein or Jersey in them. If they were part Holstein I think they would have some black and if Jersey some brown and not so much white. And crosses with a beef breed like Herefords and a dairy breed like Holsteins or Jerseys are very uncommon and when they do occur are usually an accident rather than planned (neighbors bull escaping from their farm for example (that actually happened with my father's farm). But, I may be wrong. It's been a LONG time since I took Ag classes in high school and was active in 4-H and FFA.

Great image!!!!
I have a Jersey cow raising three black calves one of which is hers.
The cattle are just pastured here I had all I wanted to do with cattle 45 yrs ago, other than eating them.

The cow looking at the camera doesn’t look like Hereford head shape, it makes me feel dairy type as does the body configuration of both. However as elsewhere stated, it’s been a long time.....

The front cow is definitely a Hereford and not the mother, as she has not developed an udder. She could be pregnant, though. The cow in back is a beef cow, but she is too long for a Hereford. Her length and strange spotting indicate she could possibly be a Beefmaster. Neither look like they have any dairy cow in them.
