[QUOTE="Rosielou, post: 1123513, member: 17488"] [url=http://www.jwest.biz/BritishWhiteCrossCalves.htm]http://www.jwest.biz/BritishWhiteCrossCalves.htm[/url] this website has some examples of different crosses. It might help. BW cows when crossed with black angus will almost always result in a black and white spotted calf. However, BA x BW crosses will sometimes produce solid black calves when bred back to BA, but sometimes can also throw a spotted calf too. I currently have 5 BW crosses, 2 heifer calves and 3 cows, and most of the calves have been solid black bull calves who grow off just as well or better than my others. This year two of my BW crosses dropped 2 spotted calves. The spots can be very dominant and can pass for a few generations.

She is pushing 8+ yrs and has had only 3 spotted calves. I bought her as a 4 year old with a spotted bull calf. When bred back to BA, she has only given me 2 spotted calves and the rest have been black.
