I don't know what you're getting at but in the case of the Charolais heifer there are purebred registered Charolais that have that gold colouration. They're called "red-factor" Charolais. Charolais that are purebred registered can also be black and red too, as well as other breeds like Simmental and Gelbvieh. Simbrah are purebred cattle, it's actually a breed, not a cross (though it originally came from crossing Brahman with Simmental). I think you just opened a can of worms here because I think it actually WOULD help people to see what kind of colours can be had from a breed that has been improved over time, and not just the traditional colours. I think it would be more confusing for people if they are uninformed about the variety of colours that have come about with improvements of several breeds, like Charolais, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Maine Anjou and Salers. Oh, and even Black Herefords too, among many other breeds.OtterCreekRanch said:I hope I do not offend anyone, but I would probably try to stick to "registered" or purebred out of registered stock type cattle for pictures as cattle who are "mostly" a certain breed still may be slightly off from what the breed should really look like and that might confuse those who are new to those breeds.
