Calico Calf?
I have never seen this in cattle before and so far I have found no one else that has either. I do have an inquiry pending with a coat color geneticist. Cattle in my experience do not come in a 3 color spotting pattern with the exception of Normandy but then their color is black white and red. There is no Normany blood in my herd. While the tan/orange spots are few they are still there on his one hind leg. This is our first calf of the year a bull who came early and breech and we pulled him out. He is a Simmental, Maine-Anjou, Angus, Chianina crossbred.
