[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1777913, member: 968"] Homo BLACK means they will pass the black gene to offspring. BLACK gene is dominant over RED. So a red cow bred to Homo black will be black in color (hetero black - carrying red gene). The DILUTER gene is DOMINANT over BLACK GENE. All calves out of Homo blk bulls bred to a cow carrying the diluter gene AND she passes the diluter gene to that calf WILL be grey, mouse, brown, smoky, etc. Being Homo black does NOT guarantee the offspring will be black in color. It only guarantees the calf will inherit the black gene. Black gene cattle with a diluter gene is always diluted. Red gene cattle with a diluter gene may or may not be a light red. [/QUOTE]
