[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 731352, member: 968"] Kenny - yes pedigrees help tell you if the bull is going to be a spot carrier. In the "Fullblood Simmental" herds, you can pretty well PLAN on getting spots. In the Purebred herds, it is so frowned upon (for exactly the same reason you said - $$$$), so AI bulls get a reputation in a hurry if they carry the spotting gene - like DICE, he's solid black, but he throws spots. People don't refer to REDS as homo (like I did) - but if you are involved with learning genetics - it's a given. When "black" became popular in our breed, you would see ads about a "red" cow/or bull, saying, he/she's carrying the black gene, because they are out of black parents - WRONG!!! no black genes in a RED cow/bull, even if they are out of both black parents. Randi - great explaination - saved me all that typing!!! [/QUOTE]
