Now Jalapeno's (ABS and Bovine Elite offers semen) Dam sire is called Black Max obviously the bull is Black and Jalapeno is Red, so the qestion was if the bull has a black gene does it can have black calves. It's confusing but if someone that have use Jalapeno's semen could know.

i don't know Jalapeno, but if he's red he does not have a black gene & the only way he can have black calves is to be bred to black cows. if he's red & bred to red cows he can only have red calves.
txag":1lanpz7u said:i looked up Jalapeno but couldn't find Black Max. Black Max could be black (he could be either homozygous black or heterozygous) & Jalapeno's dam could also be black but if she's black she must be heterozygous to have a red calf (Jalapeno). Jalapeno's sire is red (from my genetic discussion, bb) so he can only pass on a red gene. Jalapeno's dam must either be red (bb) or heterozygous black (Bb) and in Jalapeno's case have passed on the red gene and not the black gene. Thus, for color, Jalapeno is bb. No black gene.
Another note: Two black animals can have a red offspring but two red parents can't have a black.

Good luck.
