[QUOTE="VanC, post: 749304, member: 3355"] Both cows would carry a dilution gene and at least one black gene since their coats are diluted black (smokie). The first calf would have received a red gene from the bull, plus a black gene AND a dilution gene from the cow. Since the black gene and the dilution gene are dominant, the calf turned out smokie like it's dam. The cow that had the red calf would have had to carry a red gene along with the black gene. It passed the red gene to the calf, but not the dilution gene. One red gene from the cow and one from the bull, but no dilution gene, gives you a red calf. I'm by no means an expert, but that's how I understand it. Hopefully someone else will come along and explain it better than I did. I'm tired and am gonna hit the sack. Have a good night. [/QUOTE]
