Fade to black

First of all, is it just me or does she look tired already?
Most ranches around here have moved to raising Black Angus, which are solid black. There are a few red Angus around, but that’s the extent of the variety for most of the county. Occasionally we’ll see a random Longhorn, Charolais, White Park or Belted Galloway while driving around and I get very excited simply because they are different. (Note: look at me knowing cattle breeds. When did that happen?)
Which is one of the reasons I like this ranch. For generations this ranch has run Hereford cattle, the red and white ones. Why is this better than living on an Angus ranch?  Because red and white cows are far easier to photograph than solid colored ones!
But now they are introducing black Angus bulls into the herd and we’re getting black white-faced and black mottle-faced calves like this little guy (or gal). Even more variety! All the better to photograph.
