Black an Gus
Active member
I have a herd of purebred Angus cows, mostly black and a few reds as well. I put a Hereford bull on them last year and ended up with some nice black baldies I desired but rwf calves on the red cows (obviously) and two of the blacks. I know both sire and damn have to be red gene carriers for the offspring to be red, what I don't understand is how homozygous black bulls are made. This may seem like a stupid question but are there such thing as homozygous black Black Hereford bulls? I'm just trying to figure out a way to raise a uniform black calf crop.
