Hi new calf today but got a shock when I saw the colour mum black dad black any ideas

Here is pic

Sorry don't know how to add pic the calf is pure grey.

Who are the parents? And what colour is the tongue?

If you want to email me (info@rosewoodfarms.co.uk) the pic I'll post it.

rob do you realise you could get a permanant job doing that but it would be interesting to see calf!!

I had a blonde calf once that didn't survive, it was a dun, I think, but it was never quite right, sadly. I didn't think to take a photo though.

New calf mum black dad Elmwood Mackoy

Here is the calf in question..........

Elmwood Mackoy carries a recessive dun gene unrelated to any Woodmagic! Probability is calf is light dun and could be very precious. Light dun calves look silver when born. if it has a brown tongue it is dun.

Just seen pic. Light dun.

And another.......

I got a dun calf a few years ago and yes it was a surprise, I traced the pedigree's on both side to a dun ten generations back! Her first calf to a red bull is red, will be interesting to see what she has this year.

Looks like a dun to me..

It's got a pink tongue
