[QUOTE="Dave, post: 347658, member: 498"] Any angus breeder that will tell you the truth will admit that every now and then a red calf will show up. Remember for every red one there is going to be two black ones with the red gene. Breeding a carrier of the red gene to a pure black will result in half the calves with the red gene. So it can go on for generations until two red carriers are bred to each other. I agree with CB. Almost my entire herd came from the sale barn. They are evey color under the rainbow but there are a lot more pure red colored cows than pure black cows simply because a red cow of the same quality cost less. I probably have more baldies than anything else but that is just because there are more of then available here than anything else. I breed to a black bull and get black and black baldie calves. They top the market now. If that changes it is a lot easier to change bulls than the entire cow herd. Dave [/QUOTE]
