∙ 12y agoThis is a breed or coat color (depending on who you ask). The cow is a beef-type (stout, squat, heavily muscled) with a black body and legs but a white face or head. It can be another name for the breed Black Hereford (see related link below), or for a crossbred resulting from breeding a Hereford bull to an Angus cow (or an Angus bull to a Hereford cow).

How do you get a black calf with a white face?
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.
Can a black cow and a black bull have a white calf?
No, never.
How much does a white face cow weigh?
It all depends on what you are referring to as a "white face" cow: Are you referring to a: Simmental? Hereford? Simmental cross? Hereford cross? or... The famous Angus x Hereford black baldy? No matter, a beef cow of the typical breeds above weighs between 1100 and 1700 lbs. Simmentals are typically bigger than the Herefords and Hereford crosses, so some Simmental cows can reach up to 1800 lbs where the big Herefords only reach up to 1600 lbs.
Description of a holestien cow?
A Holstein cow is a dairy cow with a large udder and has a thin hair coat that is black and white.
How does a white cow and black bull make a spotted cow?
They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.
A cow that has a white face and a black body is called?
Black Baldy
Can you get a pure black calf from a baldy hereford and a black angus?
No. A Hereford already has a white face, so no use calling Herefords "baldy herefords." The genes for a white face is dominant to that of a coloured face like black, red, tan, etc. So, if you bred an Angus bull with a Hereford cow you will ultimately and always get a calf that is black with a white face. The only time you will get a small (16%) chance of getting a purely black calf is if you breed an F1 black baldy cow with an F1 black baldy bull. Another 16% will give you an all black calf that is horned (from the genes of the calf's grandsire or granddam, which ever was a Hereford (non-polled)). However, if you breed an Angus bull to an F1 black baldy cow, you will have a 50% chance of getting a pure-black calf.

Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.
