[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1840052, member: 42782"] Well, for what it's worth, I just spoke to the Select Sires genetics guy in charge of the west coast. He said homozygous black is dominant and the calves would be black, but bred on yellow Simm cows likely there would be some yellow tinge showing somewhere. I asked what if homozygous black Simm bull semen was bred on black Angus cows? He said that would make homozygous black animals. That could create a homozygous herd bull. (for $70) But even with homozygous cattle bred to other homozy, sometimes an off color shows up. For instance, one of his customers has three dairies. All his cattle have been black and white Holsteins for many years all he ever used was black and white bulls. But a red Holstein calf turned up, because somewhere in the bull and cow woodpile there was a red Holstein [/QUOTE]
