[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 841761, member: 951"] According to our definition in the Limousin breed if you breed a Homo black to a red or black (that is red or black all the way back in pedigree which should be in the case of the Red Angus) there is a 99.9% chance to get ALL black calves. It has been discussed on here before that if an animal is red that it is Homozygous red because it has both copies of the red gene. However when you breed the red to a Homozygous Black animal the resulting calf should always be black. I guess stranger things have happened. My first guess would be there could be another animal in there somewhere by just looking at the calf. Are all the other calves from this bull and red or black animals coming out black? Just my thoughts.... Circle H Ranch [/QUOTE]
