[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 154395, member: 968"] OK, you are saying that the American Hfd is acknowledging that there IS a diluter gene in the Hereford breed?? it's on their papers?? Well, see, that's new as far as I know. Come on out there, any OLD hereford breeders?? Back in the 70's when Simmental came here, they were the ONLY breed with a diluter gene. Whenever you saw a grey/chocolate calf, you KNEW it was 1/2 Simmental or possibly a Charolais cross. I still belive that Continentals are the only breeds that carried the diluter gene. What do you mean?? A purebred Hereford "looks chocolate brown"??? If anything, if a Hfd was diluted, they should be the light red strain. If they are "chocolate" that means there is a BLACK gene plus a diluter gene. So --- I'm really confused. [/QUOTE]
