The sire of this calf was a Reg angus Bull out of the frontier line. The cow is a commercial that last year had a black with white face calf. I don't have the pedigree on the cow. First calf I have had of this color.

The Angus sire is likely homo black; the dam is black with no evidence of color dilution. Really, it HAS to be black.
I've got lots of gray/brown/charcoal cows & calves here, due to the Simmental color dilution gene, still persisting from bulls used back in the 1980s.
:roll: Actually, they were talking about spotted calves you have, hence the calves are a box of crayons and no the spotted calves cannot shed their spots and become full black.cowgirl8":21rscpwr said:This is why some of you think my calves are a box of crayons.

Well only a retard would think that. But i dont believe i've ever opened a box of black and white crayons....and if you describe a truck, you dont call it black and chrome.. I think some of those posters who started that box of crayons didnt know that those calves were black, obviously if this calf can be called a interesting color .... ;-) :? I think that someone PMed a few and said those are black, so then it was turned on me that i thought the white would turn black.....it was all pretty stupid. Then i see this post, AH HA they did think those calves were different colors...lolTaurus":2ae3x1uf said::roll: Actually, they were talking about spotted calves you have, hence the calves are a box of crayons and no the spotted calves cannot shed their spots and become full black.cowgirl8":2ae3x1uf said:This is why some of you think my calves are a box of crayons.

Love the brindles. My fav bull is brindle but usually throws blacks. Occasionally i get brindle. I have one first calving heifer who is brindle, and 2 babies that are, both heifers. If we keep heifers i'll keep them. This one will be pretty dark when she's full grown, they usually look almost black..ANAZAZI":286nql9x said:Brindle is an interesting colour.
