[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1644595, member: 24816"] A purebred Angus can easily be a red carrier as could an Angus crossed with a Red Bull like a Simmental, Limousin or Gelbvieh in its background. The animal itself will be black but when bred to a Red Bull the resulting calf ends up red due to recessive red. The solid color calves out of a Hereford bull are a completely different subject. The reality is that a true Hereford should always pass on a white face to its calf. There are a lot of stories out there about solid color calves from Hereford bulls which tends to make the point that some have been alleging about other breed genetics in some Hereford pedigrees. I am going out on a limb and guessing that the bull in question may not have much white on him, other than his face and likely has red around his eyes as well. [/QUOTE]
