What breed would you show this calf as ???

[shortdawg]

A calf sired by Smooth Sailing out of a cow sired by Heatseeker out of a Witch Doctor/Meyer cow ? Anyone care to run the percentages on this calf ? He is a baldy with some chrome on his legs plus one spot on his side.

Double bred Heatseeker. Did it work?

 

[shortdawg]

Yep - I like him !

 

[AStar]

Cool! <beer>

Chi????  ???

 

[OH Breeder]

Is the dam registered anything?

 

[shortdawg]

Not sure - I would think % Maine, Chi

 

[TottenClubCalves]

you could def register Chi and I think Heatseeker can be registered as a maintainer if I'm correct?

Heat Wave is a Mainetainer now but not HS. You probably can't register him Maine but you could Chi. Interesting pedigree - I have a TH free HS out of a cow whose sire is a Midas x Midas. Was thinking about Highliner or Smooth Sailing.

My bad I had a brain fart lol, Yes Heatwave is registerable not Heetseeker. You should be able to register this calf chi for sure though

I doubt we will register him - just mainly wanted to know where you all thought he would class. We will try him as a Chi - if that don't work we can always go commercial which is what he really is anyway. Chi, Maine, Angus, Shorty, Simmy, as who knows what else in his pedigree. If I remember right Smooth Sailing has 15% other in his pedigree.

I thought Smooth Sailing was advertised to be homozygous solid patterned.

 

[shortdawg]

I sure don't know.

How bout a Chi-Maine. It should work. I got several registered that way. An old wise man once told me if a calf steped in  a Chi's poop it would have enough Chi in him to be registered.
