[QUOTE="Taurus, post: 967467, member: 18288"] I may not have Dutch Belted cattle here but I do have belted galloway crosses here as I can tell you that a belted gene is dominant....but it's pretty much gamble to see if the cows will have a belted calf or not. Some come out as half belted/spotted, some white bellied, some perfect belted and some solid. I bred my registered Belted Galloway cow to a black angus bull and she ended up with a solid calf but that was the last solid calf she had as the rest of her calves were always belted or half belted. Have two belted crossbred cows that has never had a belted calf as they have their 5th & 6th calf on their side but then again it's been three years since last belted calf was born and I have 7 belties here. These days most Dutch Belted cattle were upgrading by cross them to Holstein for more milk production and large size so it's hard to find a true Dutch Belted cattle. [/QUOTE]
