Calf one will be black, was black when born. 2 is a sim/angus 'black' and white'....Not 'red' and white, not 'brown' and white....she's b/w.. There are a lot of people looking at these post who never bother to say anything that are shaking their heads and laughing. I was warned by you guys, yall told me not to bother posting anything because these few will try to rip me apart. You know, if i came here asking for help maybe thats what they wanted. They love talking about themselves, they just dont want anyone else to do it. Whats funny is they've been doing it so long they dont know how ridiculous they end up looking. :lol2:
Do you have any idea of the definition of Homozygous black or Heterozygous black?
As 3way said the only way your Red bull will throw consistently black calves is if he is bred to Homozygous black cows and then they will all be black unless he carries the diluter gene, Which is a possibility with the Fleckvieh influence.
When you show your ignorance in matters like this it makes it hard to take anything you say serious. I am starting to think that the reason you haven't learned much here is you are so busy trying to teach us all how to run a second rate cow calf operation. As you should have figured out by now it is hard to listen and talk at the same time.
And please post some really professional pictures of your bulls so that they can be dissected one piece at a time.
Since my cows are not registered or tested i have no idea whether they are homozygous or heterozygous. So i dont know which calves will be what color. I just know that my red w/f bull throws mainly black calves out of the younger angusX. His mother was yellow and i dont recall who his sire was. He's an old bull, so who knows. I do know that sometimes i get red calves out of black cows, and sometimes i get black calves out of red cows but the majority of his calves are black and black w/f. Really doesnt matter, i havent been able to tell much at the sale barn which brings the most. I know i want black w/f. But if i get a few reds, thats fine. The big red sim we lost a few months ago threw mostly red calves, he was out of our earlier sims which were red and we bred him mainly to sim cows since his calves were big. SO, i do know that when i have a mostly full sim bull, i'm going to get calves of all colors. So effin what. The young bull who is red, is out of a black brangus cow and the red w/f bull. I'm going to guess that if he is bred to these older sim cows, i'll get whatever the wheel stops on. But, if i take him over to the other cows who are mainly angus, i'm going to guess i'll get mainly black. Simple enough for you?
