From Wikipedia:
Swedish Red Cattle
, also called Swedish Red-and-White Cattle, (in Swedish: Svensk rödbrokig boskap or Svensk röd och vit boskap) are a dairy cattle breed from Sweden.

The animals are mostly red with only a few being red pied.

The breed originates from crossing between original Swedish Red cattle, Ayrshire cattle, and Norwegian Red cattle.

Adult cows reach a weight of about 550 kg, bulls 800 kg. The breed is mainly used for the milk production, but has some potential for beef production.

"We bought Swedish Red cross calves last year from you. They turned a dark blackish red when they got older. The cattle buyers did not pick them out of the herd and they sold with the rest of our black Angus calves..... I bought a pure holstein calf earlier this year from someone else but it died.  I'd take some more of those Swedish Red or Angus cross calves if you have any."
