[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1383854, member: 14585"] If a parent is truly homozygous for a gene the offspring can be carrier heterozygous but would not exhibit the trait. Most likely your bull is heterozygous for hair color, however I've heard there is some sort of rare wild gene for hair color floating around that may even overrule the standard hetero/homoz rules... but I'm not really sure. I guess we're really talking how much chrome and its location as white behind the naval is not uncommon in angus. Perhaps some one with more knowledge of the 'wild' color gene will chime in. Parent gene domination has no relation to the sex of the parent. So no the "cows" gene would not be dominant just because she's female. [/QUOTE]
