[QUOTE="txag, post: 64129, member: 8"] ok, seems like maybe i'm reading your post different than some of the other responses. if the cows you're looking at are hereford/angus cows, they should all be polled, black baldies (if the angus are really angus & homozygous polled, homozygous black). the baldie pattern will vary from total bald face to coon eyes to brockle or mottle-faced. if these cows are then bred to a horned hereford bull the calves will be 3/4 hereford 1/4 angus and you would expect half of the calves to be black and the other half of the calves to be red with more of the white "hereford" markings than their dams. depending on whether the original hereford in question (the cows' sire) was homozyous polled, heterezygous polled or horned will determine whether or not any of the cows carry the horned gene and in turn whether or not the calves will be horned. good luck with your purchase.
