[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3666"] We can flog this subject more if you like, but the black gene has to come from somewhere. If a black baldie is bred to a hereford there is a fifty fifty chance that the calf will be black, do that enough generations and they will look just like a hereford, or a limousin or braunvieh, or charolais for that matter. The black gene still has to originally come from a black animal, angus, holstein, whatever. the animal may be 99.9% Hereford and still be black, but it is NOT a black hereford. In the rare event of a "sport" which is caused by a mutation of the color gene I doubt if it could be registered as a Hereford anyway, just as the Black Angus assoc. in the US will not register a Red Angus calf produced from a mating of two black angus. I would suggest you read a good book on the genetics of color, that will explain it much better then I. dunmovin farms > I've had several black baldies - > my black and white > "hereford" is exactly > like my brown and white hereford. > She has the facial features, the > build, etc. or my herefords.
