[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1092731, member: 21626"] Think of a punnett square, W=white face, dominant w=no white face, recessive Dam(black baldy):> W w Sire (black angus):v w Ww ww w Ww ww The point: There is a 50% chance that your calf will have a dominant gene for a white face, and a 50% chance that there will be no dominant gene for a white face a.k.a. no white face. This assumes that the cow is an F1 from a 100% black sire (anything homozygous black, holstein, angus, simmental, maine, etc.) and a 100% red hereford and that the bull is a 100% black bull (again, anything homozygous black). Just like if you took a black baldy cow and bred her to a red angus bull, technically there is a chance that you could get a calf that looks exactly like a hereford. Could also happen if you bred a black angus bull to a black baldy cow if the bull is a Red carrier and the baldy cow still has her red gene. I have two holstein x hereford black baldy cows that were both bred to the same angus bull, one had a solid black calf (white spot on udder and white switch) and the other had a black baldy. Hope this helps clear it up. [/QUOTE]
