The inclusion of the Angus bull is irrelevant to this question since the bull has no control nor part in the length of a cow's gestation period. Expect a Hereford-cross cow to have an average gestation period of around 285 days long, plus or minus a few days.

A baldy cow is a cross-bred cow that has a white face and a black, red or yellow body. Crosses that make Baldies baldies include the following possible crosses: Angus x Hereford --> Black Baldy * Red Angus x Hereford ---> Red Baldy or red brockle face Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Black baldy Red Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Red baldy Simmental x Hereford --> Red Baldy Simmental x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy or Black brockle face Simmental x Hereford x Red Angus --> Red Baldy or red Brockle face Charolais x Hereford x Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford x Red Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford --> Yellow or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford --> black, red or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy Limousin x Simmental --> Red baldy Charolais x Simmental --> Yellow baldy Limousin x Simmental x Angus --> Black baldy Charolais x Simmental x Angus --> Black or mousy baldy Charolais x Simmental x Red Angus --> Tan or Red baldy Limousin x Simmental x Red Angus --> Red baldy The possibilities of getting a baldy cow or calf are endless, as you can see. *However the most popular baldy is the Black Baldy, from crossing Hereford with Angus or vice versa.


What is the average hanging weight of a 20 month old Hereford Angus steer?

The average hanging weight of a 20-month-old Hereford Angus steer typically ranges from 600 to 800 pounds. Factors such as diet, genetics, and overall health can influence this weight. Generally, beef cattle at this age are well-developed, contributing to a substantial hanging weight when processed.


What is the best cross shorthorn bull on hereford cow or hereford bull on a shorthorn cow?

Can a black angus be a purebred with a white face?

NO! Black Angus can ONLY be ALL black in order to be deemed purebred. Also, an animal that is deemed to be Black Angus MUST have DNA tests done on the animal, the sire and the dam to prove that it is indeed purebred and not a composite. The animal you are talking about is a composite breed, which is a result from crossing Hereford with Angus, or even crossing Angus with a Hereford-Angus F1 cross.


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.

What is the life span of a angus?

Which is better beef white face hereford or black angus?

Black Angus. BUT, the question is poorly phrased, as it requests judgment without specifying the criteria to be judged. Better for what purpose? Better tasting beef? Better breed of beef cattle? Better growing? Better disposition? Since the question is really more of a popularity poll, the best answer I can give you is: Angus are number 1 in popularity, Hereford are very popular with the 2nd largest beef cattle population in the USA after angus. Registered angus out number registered herefords by more than 4 to 1.

What is the gestation period of an Angus cow?

Angus cattle tend to have short gestation periods, ranging from 260 to 280 days in length. However, this can be the exception rather than the rule. Because Angus are so popular and wide-spread, it shouldn't come to a surprise that some strains may have average or slightly long gestation periods ranging from 280 to 290 days long.
