[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1566727, member: 38101"] It's fairly predictable on it's own but I absolutely agree when you start getting to the 2nd generation removed with 3-4 breeds involved becomes a guessing game. Especially when you don't know the full lineage of all involved. Those recessive genes seem to come out of nowhere. I breed primarily black cows to Charolais and get about half tan half silver. The calves also often inherit the longer hair from the Char. I had a group with some white cows and a Black angus bull last year and thought I'd get the same but the calves were darker grey with shorter hair. [/QUOTE]
