What are the odds that a Carpe Diem calf would not have any white on his face.  This calf has a reddish tint, some white underneath, but nothing on his face.  I'm thinking the wrong seamen got in her....but I don't know how else this calf would have a reddish color out of the black cow.  Either way, I think she's a stout one.  Wish she was a he!

isnt carpe diem hetro for solid color? In that case it is possible for him to thow no white at all and say the dam has a white tip on the tail or white udder, she can throw a white belly pretty.

Carpe Diem seems to pattern after the cow, I have seen several with no Hereford markings at all!
Yup Carpe Diem follows the cow. So if she doesn't have white on face its doubtful calf would.

I got a Carpe Diem heifer calf this year out of a red brockle cow that is 1/2 shorthorn, 1/4 sim, 1/4 red engus and the calf is a yellow color with a sizeable star at the top of its head and white rear legs.  Looks like the thickest, stoutest guernsey calf youve ever seen!  (lol)

Good to know.  I thought we had screwed up somewhere in our breeding and records!

idahoag, I really like that calf.  Do you have a full picture of the cow and the cow's breeding?  I am still contemplating my breeding decisions for 2013 and after seeing this little lady I am considering Carpe Diem.

Well, the cow is a crossbred cow (3/4 angus, 1/4 heinz 57 (probably a little limi, shorthorn, etc in her background).  I will see what I can do about getting a picture of her for you.

Thanks Idaho.  I would really love to see your cow as I believe it would help me in my decision.  I hope you resolve your milking issue from your other post.  If that cow can't raise a calf she will make a good hamburger ;)
