[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1396653, member: 20580"] If she truly is purebred Hereford which you really have no way of knowing without having papers on her then there is a small possibility that she could be carrying the diluter gene which can result in a grey color when mating with a black animal. That's just snowballing another possibility but the diluter gene is technically a breed impurity too. There probably is a better chance that she is not a purebred Hereford than there is she is purebred and carrying the diluter. You have a nice healthy calf out of heifer that you say is doing a good job so that's a win no matter how you look at it. [/QUOTE]
