[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1626036, member: 24816"] I agree with you on the subject of trying to argue breed purity. I have had a bull that I did not register but both his parents were registered Herefords. When bred to two certain cows that were unregistered but came from purebred stock would sometimes have calves with a white strip down their sides one had a full strip down both sides and a lot of his calves had quite a bit of white on them but still within the Hereford pattern on other cows including registered ones. I figured he and those two aforementioned cows had a touch of old time Simmental back in their pedigree somewhere. The bull also did not have the typical Hereford disposition either. As for the solid black calves I agree crossbred cows can throw a range of markings not consistent with true F1’s. I have experimented with some cross bred Hereford bulls and they will result in some solid or close to solid colored calves. [/QUOTE]
