[QUOTE="Running R, post: 1610216, member: 39288"] Interesting. Are you consistently getting the orange/apricot color out of your RA x Limi and Char x Limi F1 calves? Is it solid, roan or parti-colored? My experience with them is limited but I assume one looks for a homozygote for both red color and polling. Am I wrong? Are the semen registries consistent in determining heterozygous (for black) and/or polling? What do your F2s look like when you go back to F1 Char x Limi? Make no mistake, my cows (about 20…I’m detuning) are high-altitude, rugged, beef machines. Good milkers, heavy on docility. For me there is now enough butt, back, leg and front out there in the semen available to allow me to focus on color. My objective is to market a limited number of clubbies as weaners, solid beefers as replacements and the rest as feeders. Maybe hold a few for early feeding here on our place. Just trying to sneek in some premiums where I can. Thanks for the interesting advice. Pete [/QUOTE]
