Beauty spots: Our first calves of the 2018 season

These little loves are two of the nicest calves we’ve ever had at Russet Valley Farm.

And that’s saying something.

Both feature those brown beauty spots, so desirable in polled Herefords.  As did their grandfather,  Boyd Masterpiece 2020.  Of course, Herefords have several other desirable traits, too.

The girl calf has one sweet spot above her right eye.  Mom looks pretty, too, with her curls.  The bull calf has  gorgeous brown rings around both eyes.

But don’t let me persuade you. Judge for yourself. Photos taken within two days after birth.
