[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 730861, member: 951"] You can breed any homozygous black bull to any red or black cow that is red or black pretty much all the way back in their pedigree and there can always be a chance of white on the underline. It does not mean the bull is not homozygous black or has any kind of spotting gene. I have seen it happen in hundreds of calves. Many purebred Angus and Limousin females already have white underneath. It happens in the Limousin breed sometimes even when both parents are homo black the calf can have white undrneath. Im sure it does in other breeds also. I know that TC Total is an Angus bull that many people wont use because he puts white on the underline a lot and many times in front of the navel. The white underneath doesnt mean anything other than the calf has white on it. The coat color should always come out black although the definition NALF gives us on homozygous black animals is a 99.9% that all calves will be black out of red or black non diluter animals. I suppose somewhere in history a red one has popped out. Circle H Ranch [/QUOTE]
