breeding purple cows

[singlespsp]

I was thinking about breeding my purple cows with a longhorn bull. Will the offspring be purple longhorns?

 

[Beefy]

only the purple ones will be purple longhorns.

Only if the longhorn bull is blue then you could have some really pretty periwinkle babies. Duhhh ;-) :lol:

You weren't at the Irish Pub when you came up with this idea were you? ;-)

I think I've got it. Red cow + Blue cow = Purple cow
PS - I can count to purple backwards

I've heard the important thing is to breed them to give purple milk. Kids are starting to get bored with chocolate milk everyday.Z

it doesnt work that way. my blue cow has only had mostly red calves, a few blacks, one blue and a red w/face.

Of course, you gotta be careful. Sometimes you'll end up with one of them generic mutations and you want get purple but a polka dotted one like this one. :lol: She gives chocolate, strawberry and purple milk depending on which teat you tap. We named her Elvira after exwife's brother.
