[QUOTE="txag, post: 69817, member: 8"] fellers is right. there doesn't have to be "red angus" blood for a registered angus to carry a red gene. your bull must carry a red gene because a homozygous black angus can only pass on a black gene and because black is dominant, it will not give you a red baldie. that little red gene could've easily been floating around in their bloodlines for years & wouldn't show up until bred to another animal with a red color gene. it might be worthwhile for you to study up on homozygous/heterozygous, dominant/recessive traits. it's kind of important to understand now that horned & polled herefords are being crossed so often. that way when your customers ask if a bull will only throw polled calves you'll be able to give them an educated answer. :) [/QUOTE]
