[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 102791, member: 1604"] CMR, Glad you settled that for us. Thanks. But why do you want them black? Any purpose other than wanting to be trendy? Found this in a book about Chars: The gene or genes causing white have not all been discovered yet. White, as in the Charolais is actually caused by an epistatic or masking gene. They are actually red, ee, but is not showing its red because of the effects of some other gene, common to Charolais. When this Charolais allele occurs in homozygous form, the animal is white. When it is only heterozygous the calf color can be red or grey or even white. [/QUOTE]
