[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 730901, member: 968"] Kenny - if you get ONE calf out of your bull with spots (by spots I mean white spots on the sides of the calf - not bellie or face or legs or tail - those are all different genes) - anyway, if you get ONE calf with spots - your BULL is carrying the spotting gene AND your dam of the spotted calf. You can have a Homo Black or Homo Red bull carrying the spotting gene produce hundreds of calves WITHOUT 1 spot - "IF" he is bred to cows that do not carry the spotting gene. BOTH parents must carry AND PASS the gene if it is a recessive gene - which the SPOTTING gene is recessive. You can have a cow covered with white (actually saw a PB Simmental that was ALL white except for black on head & butt!! and she was Homo Black, of course carrying both spotting genes). This almost white cow, bred to a non-spotting bull - never produced a calf with SPOTS, but all her solid bodied black calves CARRIED the spotting gene, so you have to be careful what you breed your herozygous spotted carrying cows to.
