Dear Chris A pied heifer is a black and white cow. I'm just trying to remember now the word for a brown and white animal. I do know that there are different words but think that black and white is pied.

Hi This is a site for piebald (black and white) and skewbald (brown and white) horses, but I'm sure that cattle would have the same color names in this context. http://www.theipsa.com/definition.htm Ginny At 22-05-04 10:50 AM, norman.lee1 wrote: >Dear Chris > >A pied heifer is a black and white cow.
