Have several pkg of Walthers “Beef Cattle” # 933-3143. Want to depict Hereford cattle with their rich brown coats. Anybody have a suggection or done this painting and what colour of paint to use?
Thanks.
I didn’t have Walther’s cattle so I’m not sure what colour they are when “stock”. I had some Atlas cattle and painted them Crafter’s Acrylic burnt umber with a little Mississippi Mud around their feet and legs. I think they look great.

. Well Herefords are typically brick red with white on the face and down the bottom of the neck. They also have white on the tip of the tail and white stockings on up to three legs. Put a little gray “scab” on some of them where they were dehorned. Yes some do grow horns. Black Angus are, well black. Charolais are grayish white. There was another breed we had when I was a kid that we called White Face, basically Angus with a white face. Mud and dirt on the feet. Uh…mud on the tail. Light grayish weathering along their backs.
Grew up on a small farm raising beef cattle.
