[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1237271, member: 21626"] Not sure how you consider a baldy different from colored like a hereford, unless you mean red vs. black. In red vs. black, a red cow to a red bull will always have a red calf. A homozygous black heifer to a red bull will always have a black calf. A heterozygous black heifer (the offspring from a homozygous black cow bred to a red bull) will have a 50% chance of having a black heifer and a 50% chance of having a red heifer. A heterozygous black heifer to a heterozygous black bull has a 75% chance of having a black calf and a 25% chance of having a red calf. Hope that answered your question. [/QUOTE]
