[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14426"] Dun is absolutely right. But to make it even more clear. Your cow has NO BLACK GENE in her. She inherited only the red genes. Black is a dominate gene. If an animal inherits a black gene, they will be black (or diluted black, like grey, chocolate, silver, etc). Jeanne > That's an easy one.
