[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1620232, member: 968"] I owned Simmental half bloods back in 1972 that were solid black. Had nothing to do with PR for black. We bought semen on Fullblood Simmental bulls, used whatever cows you owned to produce your first half blood. If you owned a commercial black cow, you had a 50% or greater chance the offspring would be black - or DILUTED black (grey, smoky, etc). Obviously, you had a 100% chance of getting a polled black halfblood if you had PB Angus cows. Back then, many people contracted dairies to breed their Holsteins for halfblood heifers - most offspring would be black factored. As a breeder wanting to make a profit - you breed to produce whatever is paying the most money. For some time, black Simmentals were getting the big bucks. Right now, RED is my biggest sale ticket.
