Breeding question

[jhm47]

You'll be just fine, provided that the original bull had no serious genetic defects. Go for it!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Thank you.

Buddy was a terrific bull and his daughters were/are great!

 

[Imissmygirls]

I think you have your future cleanup bull

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Yep, unless DH decides to change his mind.

 

[Imissmygirls]

And he's red too.
And I remember the dark ages when red Holsteins were outlawed.
Funny how they never disappeared.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Did you know that the original color for holsteins was red?

Most of our herd has the red factor in it. Probably part of my problem getting the blues. :rolleyes

 

[Kute Kitten]

No, I didn't. I thought it was black.

Did you know that the original color for holsteins was red?

Hmmm, I didn't know that!

Yep, but then as today black was preferred so they bred them to produce the black color we see so much of today.

I've heard of old farmers who only wanted herds of black Holsteins cow with white feet and tails and white stars on the heads.
it was all probably politics. Always is in registered circles
