Nice calf it looks like a dun or brindle with the grey nose. If turns out Brindle he should fetch a nice price.

The mother is a mixture of greyish brown streaks and the father is Red...so maybe this one is brindle.

Here is a pic of mom and calf not the best...

Mom is a dun. you go by huff and nose color. blonde with pink nose is yellow grey or black dun. red with pink is red. if it is grey or black brindle. But we have had 3 start as chocolate and turn black. white with grey nose is a silver.
Nice looking cows.not very old mom looks to be first timer. dad looks to be about 3.

Dun can be blonde to dark brown, but will have a grey to black nose.
