[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 503971, member: 2308"] What you are seeing is the Patterned Blackish coloration. It is found in Brahman, Jersey, and Brown Swiss. Bp is dominant to bp, but you can only see it when the animal has a red base color. Adult animals with the Bp look very similar to Wild colored animals, but the males are the same color as females, unlike Wild colored animals where the males are generally darker than the females. The other big difference is that usually Wild colored animals will be born dark, where Bp animals will be born red and turn dark with age. Bp = Patterned Blackish bp = normal coloration Animals must be ee (red) to express the Bp coloration. BpBp = Homo Blackish Bpbp = Hetero Blackish bpbp = normal color I am thinking that your gray brahma carries the Bp gene, and your red doesn't(or you would see it). [/QUOTE]
