[QUOTE="VanC, post: 594575, member: 3355"] I don't know of any dominance when it comes to disposition, so as far as that goes, it could go either way. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Since the calf would be 3/4 Hereford it would more than likely be marked like a Hereford, but that's not set in stone, either. As far as color goes, it depends on which gene your baldy heifer passes on. She carries a red gene and a black gene. Since black is dominant, her coat is black, but she still carries a red gene from her dam. The bull will pass a red gene. If the baldy passes the red gene then the calf will be red. If she passes the black gene then it will be black. 50/50 chance either way. In other words, it's pretty much a crap shoot. ;-) [/QUOTE]
