[QUOTE="Badlands, post: 358925, member: 5010"] Caustic, The "crayola calves" you mention are mostly due to simply inherited traits, like horns, , scurs, hide color, hair color, various spotting genes, wild type mutations, and brindling genes. In other words, for the Southern USA, they are going to have an uphill battle as "Tigerstripes" (Hereford/Brahman crosses) bring every single gene I mentioned above to the table. Literally, they bring at least 10 single genes to the table that increase the "crayon box" look. It isn't as true in other parts of the country that don't need the Brahman influence, or don't use the Hereford influence. The traits are easy to control with homozygous red or black bulls that are homozygous polled, with no white face. The othe point is that it is the Tigerstripe cow causing the problem, NOT the crossbred bull, unless he is a Tigerstripe. Badlands [/QUOTE]
