[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 841948, member: 951"] MF, an animal can be homozygous black and also carry the diluter gene. They are 2 separate genes. Randi, Are you saying that any tested Homozygous Black animal can carry the diluter gene? I just find that hard to believe and if true why would breeders have paid to test thousands of animals for Homo Black if it doesnt really mean anything? I have always been told if you breed a Homo black to a Homo black the resulting calf will always be Homo Black. I have also sold hundreds of bulls based on that theory and never once has anyone called and complained otherwise. Do you have a link or somewhere I could look at a study on this? Thanks....
