[QUOTE="cherokeeruby, post: 51621, member: 199"] An American Red Brahman can have spots and still be an American Red Brahman and not an American Gyr. From what I gather from the previous posts he has spots on his neck which is most likely mainly on his dewlap. This is quite common and does indicate some Gyr in his background but as long as his body type fits Red he is a red. He may be worth less or worth more than the solid red bull. Depends on confirmation, his pedigree, etc. If I saw the papers on the bulls I could hazard a guess on which one was better. But better is also subjective. Better for what, my purebred operation? A cross bred operation? Does the bull possess traits I need in my herd? Does he possess traits I don't what in my herd. What are dams like, can I take a peek at their udders? Feet? But to sum up a speckled neck on a good brahman bull does not make him less worthwhile, solid red is preferable but not set in stone. [/QUOTE]
