[QUOTE="CCCowman, post: 1831587, member: 24507"] It does take time and a lot of luck. Math tells you that breeding a hetro BH bull to a hetro BH cow say 50% will be red. Now here's where luck comes in..... I AI'd 11 hetro BH cows to a hetro BH bull. Got 11 black calves (9 heifers, 2 bulls). 3 came out hetro black, 8 came back homo black. Next year may be complete opposite. You do take the chance on getting red calves. But as a black Hereford breeder, that's the chance I have to take. I have to keep putting those red Hereford genetics into my herd to get the quality animals I want and that the BH breed needs. We're getting there. Go take a look at the black Hereford bull that Burns sold a few weeks ago for $14,000. Any cattleman would proud of that boy regardless of what breed you own. [/QUOTE]
