[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 293568, member: 4353"] Does anybody know of research that has been done on the heritability of eye pigmentation in hereford cattle? Any idea of how many gene pairs controls this? It seems to be pretty much a hit and mis thing. I often get a less than fully pigmented calf when both parents are fully pigmented and even when the grandparents are fully pigmented. What I also have observed is that eyes that had some pigment at birth, but was not fully pigmented often the pigment increases with maturity. can anyone explain this or share their experience.
