I am curious about the color of my first red calf's eyes, she has grey looking eyes. Is this the usual color of a red calfs eyes if so do when do they change color.

Hi Sheila,
Some of my red Dexter's start out having a blue/grey colored eyes when born. They have always changed to a dark color sometime before 6 months of age.
Congratulations on your little heifer!

Thanks, Barb, I figured that was the case. Her eyes were just so different I wanted to know. And since both her dam and sire were your babies, you should know.
You may not halter break your babies but they are certainly tame as dogs and a pleasure to own.

One of my dun cows has green eyes, she's about 5 years old now, so I guess they'll stay that way. She sure has a strange look to her!!
P.J.

i have learned that calves all have blue eyes when they are born,just like caucasian human babies, and sometimes darken at about 2 months.......the red dexters i have, their eyes stayed that beautiful pale green color.........i f the red calves eyes changed dark fairly early, it also told me their coat color will turn dark or black too........ive had many calves born with pale eyes, to turn black at 3 months of age,with their eyes turning dark too!
