[QUOTE="BA, post: 253094, member: 1319"] Jacarkie - Both parents [u][b]DO[/b][/u] have to have the dwarf gene to get a dwarf calf. They will not have a dwarf everytime, but the gene is there regardless and without linebreeding can remain in some animals for many, many generations. By your description, the cow got the gene from her father. Please do not keep any heifers of the cow and notify the breeder of the bull if known so that his genes are not passed down to other herds.
