A few Blue Roans

[Hilltop]

Lil Hilltop snapped some calf pics 10 days ago so just thought we would share a few of the Blue calves. First 2 calves, and 3 pics are sired by ACC General, our white herdsire.  First calf is from a purebred simmi and the second or darker bulls dam is a shorthorn x simmi cross cow.  The last pic of the real light blue is sired by a roan son of General and out of a black blaze face simmi cow.

I love blue calves!! Really like the light one. Too bad there isn't black patches on the knees... easier for cleaning if you were to show 'em. Very nice! (thumbsup)

Nice!  Im breeding my commercial cows to a dark roan shorthorn this year.  Hopefully I atleast get a couple blues out of the deal.

This is the sire of the real light coloured heifer calf. Was a bit surprised as he is out of a cherry red cow so wasnt expecting that much if any white. The more red there is back in the pedigree the lesser the chance of a blue i was told once and I believe it.  Good ol genetics!!!
