[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 88289, member: 1026"] Ok, I hope I don't confuse things...There is a difference between genotype (genetics) and phenotype (appearance). Just because the spots are in a different place doesn't make them genetically different. Colouration is dependant on the migration of cells carrying pigment in the development of the fetus. The colours will be the same, the placement somewhat different. And environment definitely has a hand in forming character, personality and abilities. Genetics can give a predisposition, but doesn't stamp non physical traits in concrete. As for flushing, I have NO problems with that. I just wouldn't ever do it to a virgin heifer, since so many have permanent damage to their cervixes from it... V [/QUOTE]
