[QUOTE="dun, post: 811161, member: 34"] The red gene is not dominant, black is. What you have is a heterozygous black bull (one red gene and one black gene) and a heterozygous black cow (one red gene and one black gene). The law of averages caught up and each passed a red gene. To go a little further, that red calf is homozygous red (2 red genes) and can;t have a black calf unless bred to a black animal that has at least one black gene (heterozygous black-one red gene and one black gene or homozygous black - 2 black genes) that passes a black gene.
