[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1811985, member: 24816"] I used to be a registered Charolais breeder, and it used to be a once in a great while occurrence to have a reddish calf born. I didn’t understand about the genes and diluter genes to know what it was called back then, but eventually found out about the red factor. It was my experience from seeing a lot of calves from commercial cows and white Charolais bulls, that they could have some spotting and color patterns that mimic other breeds. I’ve seen some calves that were marked like longhorn cross calves from cows that cows that you wouldn’t expect to see that from. Usually they were a diluted mouse or tan color with the white spotting. I have seen some fairly dark red calves occasionally too though. [/QUOTE]
