Thanks Dun!

I know some don't like crossbred bulls but he's out of a reg black angus cow and a reg polled hereford bull.This bull is 3 yr.old and I also have his half brother that's out of a brangus cow and the same hereford bull,he's a black baldie.
I'll try to get some more pictures.

that's a mighty fine looking bull, brian. you don't have any like that for sale do you? have you ever bred those hereford bulls to limflex heifers? just curious about what kind of calf you could expect....

You sure he's out of a black angus cow? gs

I'm thinking if he is then he should continue using his sire as long as he can still mount a cow, even if you have to feed him porridge because he doesn't have teeth anymore! Prepotency like that is hard to come by.

Yes,my uncle had all black cows most are registered angus then he switched from reg angus bulls to two reg hereford bulls and this bull was the best calf out of that first bunch of calves.Even though most of his cows are purebred they have some red baldie along with the black baldie calves.

He is NOT out of a registered blk Angus cow. If he was he would be black with a white face or a variation of that. Registered Angus are homozygous black. for him to come out red there had to be a red carrier on the bottom side also.
You have the same thing my friend has this year. She has a solid black commercial cowherd and put a couple of HH bulls on them last year. Out of the 50 or so calves they could have sired at least 7 of them came out red. Their mothers although black were red carriers. My friend did some record searches and in some cases the red gene was 4 or 5 generations back.

Nicely explained 3way.

I should have noticed this the first post. You have in effect answered your own question. If he is getting red baldies it's because the cows are NOT purebred Angus.

He is a good lookin' bull, I just knew he wasn't out of a reg black angus cow. gs

Am I wrong then in thinking that the original Scottish stock included red carriers? Or is it a rule of registration that the animal has to be homozygous black?

Wow, nice!!

3-way,
There have always been - and still are - some registered Angus cows and bulls that carry the gene for red coat color. AAA will not allow registration of 'red' calves, but will register red-carriers, and denotes known red carriers on their pedigree.
Not all registered Angus are homozygous black
