[QUOTE="VanC, post: 811228, member: 3355"] You're right. Since the red factor is considered a genetic defect by the AAA I'd guess that it doesn't pop up too often anymore in registered herds. I imagine it probably doesn't pop up that often registered or not. Heck, both parents have to carry it, and then there's only a 25% chance that the calf would be red, so the odds are against it. I don't know the frequency of it, but I do know that the AAA has a list of known registered red factor carriers on its website, so it does happen. But what I meant was that the genetic principle would be the same either way. If a cow or bull has the red factor then it has the red factor. Registering it won't make it go away. Shoot, now I'm confused so I'd better shut up now. :lol2: [url=http://www.angus.org/pub/DefectsAnmList.aspx?def=CAAAANTlLl0SqQj8MI0LLhhtJJk%3d&car=BgAAAHOI1vJXYX4%2bze8evIg3UTE%3d]http://www.angus.org/pub/DefectsAnmList ... vIg3UTE%3d[/url] [/QUOTE]
