[QUOTE="VanC, post: 259344, member: 3355"] You are correct. The only way Herefords, or any other "red" breed, can become black is to introduce another breed, usually Angus. Red always breeds true. There are no "black genes" lurking in a red animal the same way that "red genes" might lurk in a black one. Some breeds (Gelbvieh, Limos, Simmies, Salers, Maines, etc.) allow this. Herefords do not. Therefore if an animal is 99.99% Hereford, but has a black hide, you know it's not pure. That is why the AHA refuses to register them. [/QUOTE]
