[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 701509, member: 2308"] The only way to reliably get black baldy calves (of the type you are talking about) is to breed Hereford cows to a Black Angus bull or to breed Black Angus cows to a Hereford bull. I know others will say that black Simmies, Limis, Gelbveihs etc will do the same when bred to Hereford cows, but ALL of those started out as RED breeds and the chances of any specific bull carrying the RED gene is fairly high, and Simmies and Gelbveihs may also carry the spotting gene. As for breeding a Black Baldy bull to Black Baldy cows, here is what you are most likely to get. First off, color wise 25% homo Black 50% hetero Black (carry the red gene) 25% Red Now the white faces, of course this depends on the bull, if he is a typical baldy, 25% Hereford type markings 50% Baldy markings 25% no white markings If he is a hereford marked 50% hereford markings 50% baldy markings [/QUOTE]
