There are color changing cows! Holstein cattle can have a sneaky color called Black/Red (or Telstar). They are born colored red and white and then turn black and white. This unique color originated in the Canadian bull Roybrook Telstar, born in 1964. ๐ #genetics #cattle #coatcolor #dairy #holsteins
