This cross is called a black baldy. Part of the pink on the calf's belly is a fresh umbilicus as this is day one of its life. It now sports a color coordinated ear tag, white with black numerals (26) in its left ear (applied after the picture was snapped. It is a little bull and a friend wants to trade me a calf of equal value (all black as the rest of my herd) so he can have the genetics the little bull has (quite nice.) That saved the little fellow from a quite tight fitting rubber band that would convert him to an it, uh err ah... steer. He was born Sat morn and another (all black) on Sat afternoon with first honors going to a black Angus heifer born on St. Patrick's day. Tis the season...
