What must breed cow is this

[houl1325]

I'm getting a cow calf pair and I'm wondering what breed it is mixed with. I know is father is Dexter and the calf's father is dexter. But the mom to the cow was on site and I was told she was part Scottish highlander and ...... I could not understand his speech on the other breed. It sounded like it started with a "sh or a c" Okay so basically the mom to the cow was white with some cream in her coat and had horns that resembled her daughters. I have a picture of both her adult daughters. Remember the father to both daughters are a dexter. I would really like to know what others think she is cause I would just like to know what I have.

So this is the picture of the cow calf pair and the cows sister is behind her. I did not take a picture of the mother of the cows.

This shows off the sister a little more

Perhaps he said Chianina? They are that color at least.

[houl1325]

Here is her little bull calf. He has no horns

[gone-a-milkin]

Charolais?

[houl1325]

That's what I guessed at first but the black ears and noses. Mostly on sister but slightly on the cow we are getting. Is that a trait of charolais. Chillingham but aren't they rare

[G. Seddon]

Maybe some White Park in there?

The sister cow in the background has markings of White Park since she has the black inner ear and black muzzle.

White Park, although I don't known how to make that say SH

[houl1325]

The cow we are getting does have black nose pad and way inner ear skin. The hair in ear is white. I'm wondering if the guy I'm buying cow from has right information. He mumbled the name of the bred like he may have been unsure himself. That's why I'm here and not re asking him to speech up. Regardless I'm happy on the cow calf pair and will not change my purchase due to bred. I'm happy that regardless she is at least a beef bred mix and that her calf is 75% dexter and 25% what ever she is. I'm going to use him on my other first time heifers "current 6 months old" to insure low birth weight for their first calf... When they are ready. Then he is getting cut and being feed out for my freezer.

I was wondering if he was saying chillingham but was not educated that they are closely related to the British white park cattle and then we have American white park cattle with same marketings but a smaller cattle. Or IF it's charlios and the cross of the breeds have made the markings the way they are

[houl1325]

Right now she is just a larger then normal white dexter and I'm happy with that but if I'm going to breed her a lot I would just like to have an idea what she is for when or if I sell one of her calves

[houl1325]

I really thought he said something like. Charlemae. Or Sharlemae. I'm spelling my sound so.... I can not find a bred by that name unless it's slang for another bred.

[gone-a-milkin]

I am still guessing Charolais.
I have seen them crossed with black Angus, Holstein, and other unknown crossbreds.
They often have darker 'points' in their ears and noses.

Of course this really is a futile question to ask.
None of us will ever really know for sure what your cow is.

Thanks tho. I'm just curious in others opinion. I do plan on selling calves off her and just wanted a name of a bred or breds to tell private buyers. Is all the cattle named above beef breds?

British white parks cross. Besides the black point. It has black freckles and the strange hair they have.

Dexters that are horned are supposed to have the black tipped horns

[Lady89]

i would say they are mutts, there is most likely some Charolais in the blood but i dont know what ells, but is all good mutts taste as good as any pure breed

[houl1325]

I seen the cows mom and dad. The dad is registered dexter. The mother is c something and scotish Highlander
