I know that there are lots of different types of cows & that they're broken into two groups: beef & milk. Around here people raise mainly beef cows. I also know that there are lots of different types of beef cows. I saw some new calves a few days ago that I had never seen before. I like looking at cows as I drive by, singing "Its what's for dinner!" but these cows I'd never seen anything like before. They were young calves and I'm going to call them either "pointed" or "Siamese" cows. Their bodies were all pure white, they all had black noses not too far up their muzzles, all of them had black feet about 6" above their hooves, and black tufts on their tails (except for one calf - same Siamese pointed pattern but medium reddish brown instead of black). If these were cats they'd definitely have Siamese or pointed markings - seal point & the one brown one could almost have been a flame point. None of the calves seemed to be nursing on the adults with them.. Eating grass instead.

Any idea of what kind of cows these are?
