Black Baldy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Baldy is a term used in North America for a type of beef cattle produced by crossing Hereford cattle with a solid black breed, usually Aberdeen Angus, often for the purpose of creating hybrid vigor.

It has a white face like the Hereford, but the red body color of the Hereford is replaced by black from the Angus (white face and black coat color are both genetically dominant in cattle).

It is similar in pattern, color and origin to the type often called Black Hereford in the British Isles.
