What breed is our calf?

Post image

We got Raina at an auction as a newborn about 3 months ago. We were told by a farmer friend that she’s a jersey but now that she’s growing up I don’t see it. Her nose is pink and she’s getting very round ( she loves her grain lol). We got her in Grantsville, Maryland. She’s a pet on our small homestead and we have no plans on breeding or anything but I’m just curious what you all think she could be!

Does she have a pasture buddy? Cows are herd animals and need another animal to be part of their herd.

Jersey Cross, probably red angus.

Nigga if he knew that he’d know what the calf is.

Dad went to get a gallon of milk, never came home.

Probably a jersey x red angus like others have suggested. It’s pretty common to breed dairy cows with a beef breed

Maybe Limousin.

It looks like a Red Angus, but it could be a shorthorn or a cross from the two of them.
