The breed is Buelingo. The foundation of the BueLingo breed had actually originated 10-12 years prior to the first Society meeting. Russ Bueling, a respected cattle rancher, grain farmer, civic leader and "idea" man from the Sandhills of South Eastern North Dakota approached me with his "idea" to develop a unique breed of belted cattle that would be a contribution to the beef cattle industry. My faculty position at North Dakota State University working with beef cattle producers and my expertise in livestock evaluation provided the link between the two of us. The initial respect we had for each other continues. Russ Bueling had proven to an astute, successful cattleman. The Bueling commercial cattle operation was productive because of careful selection and attention to detail. His reason for attempting a new venture with the belted cattle is easy to remember. His words were, "I am looking forward to retirement, I don't like Golf and I don't like fishing, I want to develop a unique beef cattle breed that will fill my senior years and be a benefit to the beef cattle industry". BueLingo breeders should be grateful for his choice. The first entries in the BueLingo herdbook were official following the incorporation of the Society. A group of 14 commercial cows from the Bueling herd were registered as the initial foundation herd. The females were born from 1970 through 1979 and represented strong Shorthorn genetic influence. The future contribution of these females to the breed was limited. Records indicate only two of the 14 females produced a total of five calves that were registered. Records also show the personality of Russ Bueling evident in the names assigned to the early BueLingo registrations. Unique names like; FX Band Aid Buela, FX Violynn, FX Aerio Cookie, FX Girdled Gertie and FX Damf-I-No revel the flamboyant spirit of Flying Cross Ranch.

Cows with a striped pattern are known as brindles or, more colloquially (especially in the south) as "tigerstripes." Brahman-Hereford crosses, Hereford-Jersey-crosses are often brindled cattle. Some Texas Longhorn, Corriente and Florida Cracker cattle are also striped, though most are solid with white speckles or patches.
Think of cow color as a "commutative" property. 1 + 2 is the same as 2 + 1.
No, never.
i think in black and white
Black and white.

Black and white.
They don't. It's simply not possible. The only way a black cow can "have" a white calf is if the white calf has been adopted by that cow because her calf had died at birth and the white calf had no mother because it's mother either rejected it or died giving birth to it. It's new surrogate mother then happened to be a black cow.
There are several factors involved here: is this in winter or summer? Is the animal viewed at night or at day? If it were winter, a black cow is easier to spot than a white one. If it was summer, then a white bovine is easier to spot than a black one. At night, a white cow is easier to see than a black one, and vice versa in the day time.
Black Baldy
yes. The color of the cow has nothing to do with the milk it produces.

You mean a Freisian? They're just your average black-and-white milk cow.
