[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1487581, member: 968"] Randi - love all the color on G-55. Never heard of solid colored cattle carrying the brockle gene. Is this your blog: [url=http://easygenes.blogspot.com/]http://easygenes.blogspot.com/[/url] You are correct about the spotting gene is recessive. You can have a solid black or red cow bred by a solid black/red bull and get a spotted calf because both parents carried the spotting gene and BOTH passed it on to the calf. But, a Purebred Angus bull does not carry the spotting gene (he isn't PB if he does). But, here is a report supporting that all solid color breeds carry the brockle gene (which is a dominant gene). Scroll down to #45 at top of page. Very interesting. I haven't read it all yet, but I saved it on my computer. [/QUOTE]
