funny hair on calf's head...

[linnettejane]

there's this white patch on her forehead and the white hair is alot longer than the rest...kinda looks funny from the profile...anyway...wonder if it means anything???  lol

My steers lke that also.

His white spots are longer than his yellow.

 

[kfacres]

that's one odd duck

but I have seen many shorty calves that will have white hair an inch or so longer than the red

I think white hair does grow longer than colored hair.  It sure seems that way when you have a white bellied black calf.

 

[afhm]

Its normally softer too.

Interesting stuff about the "whorls" on cattle heads. Have to check that one out.

When Canadian Geese are flying south (or north) do you know why one side of the V is loinger than the other?

You weren't lying about funny, the first thing I did was laugh ;D, the calf is cute though.

That's awesome! Also why I love white roan cattle, they just have so much more hair.

White hair always grows longer than coloured hair... perfectly normal.

Temple Grandin did extensive research on this topic.

...relationship between hair whorl position and temperament ....higher placed on the forehead the more flighty the animal tended to be,..Animals with a high whorl position or no hair whorl had higher temperament scores
It was apparently horse trainers who were first to note a link between hair whorl position and temperament, and cattle have similar patterns.

OH Breeder your answer sounds better than mine lol....I was thinking it waws a "medicine hat calf" instead of a medicine hat stallion lol

i have noticed that in most of our cattle that if the swirl is low on the nose then they are generally calmer and just pain friendlier. we have a couple that have whorls higher on their head and they don't trust you as much.
