[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1691995, member: 12607"] The BLACK heifers do not carry the color dilution/inhibitor gene. Bred to a non-diluted red or black bull, they will deliver solid non-diluted calves. Smokey is not just gonna 'jump out of the woodpile'... if the dilution/inhibitor gene is there, it'll be expressed... easy to pick out in black-factored cattle, but not necessarily so in reds... red cattle heterozygous for the color dilution gene may not be all that noticeably diluted. That white 7/8 Angus cow I posted the photo of, in the other thread, would have been no more than 1/32 Charolais, but that color inhibitor gene carried along down the family tree... and it's possible that she may also have carried a copy of the Simmental color dilution gene, in addition to the Charolais color inhibitor gene.
