No., or you would have got a black baldy out of that Hereford cow.Was he homozygous black?
Well yes and no. She is half charolais.No., or you would have got a black baldy out of that Hereford cow.
Then he is hetero, and that calf got the red gene, from him, diluted by the Charolais. If he was homo, that calf would probably have been a smoky with a white face calf. I bet he grew off good, though being Simm, Char and Hereford.Well yes and no. She is half charolais.
I bought her last winter with a redneck calf from a black bull.
Not necessarily black isn't a complete dominant mutation. At best it is an incomplete dominant mutation. Black can be masked or modified by the charolais color . As well as the white park color gene. And almost every color of the Scottish Highland.Then he is hetero, and that calf got the red gene, from him, diluted by the Charolais. If he was homo, that calf would probably have been a smoky with a white face calf. I bet he grew off good, though being Simm, Char and Hereford.
Red calf was from a different bull i bought her in January 2023.Then he is hetero, and that calf got the red gene, from him, diluted by the Charolais. If he was homo, that calf would probably have been a smoky with a white face calf. I bet he grew off good, though being Simm, Char and Hereford.
What did the fescue do to him, Kenny?Red calf was from a different bull i bought her in January 2023.
He seemed to overheat in 80+ degree weather. Stood with his tongue out breathing hard. Also stayed in the pond a lot. As soon as fall came he gained weight. I actually was concerned as to whether he was breeding the cows.What did the fescue do to him, Kenny?
Not if she has Char in her.No., or you would have got a black baldy out of that Hereford cow.
That is true. But that calf is a diluted red. If the bull was homo for black, and that calf got the dilute gene, then it would more likely be grey/smoky. Looks to me like Kenny's bull was hetera black,, and that calf got a red gene from the bull.Not if she has Char in her.
I have some that color and you get a black calf about half the time.
That Char color gene doesn't play by the rules.
Every one of these calves is out of a homozygous black bull. SH, LH and Char don't play by color rules, African horn gene doesn't play by polled rules.View attachment 40979
The cow had the black muzzle and a grey tint... most all ours will have black calves unless they have the Char pink nose... Got several that are quite light/white... with black calves...I figured sure someone would comment on the white cow with the very black calf.
Char trait does play by the rules and so does the horned African trait.That Char color gene doesn't play by the rules.
