[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1827661, member: 20754"] The majority of our herd is silver in color. They are a shade darker than a Charolais. Most of the animals in the breed are homozygous black, despite being silver in color. The silvers carry two copies of the diluter gene and the dark greys carry one. They are a bit more unpredictable when it comes to color than a Charolais when breeding to a mixed herd, but a silver bull over Black Angus cows will produce a dark grey/chocolate colored calf. These are some of our 50% Angus x 50% Murray Grey cows when they were 7 1/2 years. [ATTACH type="full"]37397[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
