[QUOTE="magpie, post: 143490, member: 62"] homozygous black means that there will be black on the pigmented aka "colored hair" of the offspring, meaning that if there are any "white markings" those white markings, will still show up and drive the commercial cattleman crazy white will still be white aka ""non-pigmented"" could be a baldie, or a black and white lineback, or black with white spots, as well as the solid blacks. but the main colored base of the animal, is black..... ------- commerical cattlemen hate that 25%(?).... (my guesstimation, not david hillis,, so don't blame him, if i screwed up on this part) ....chance in each mating that the non-pigmentations will show up and gasp! ruin their lovely black hides. :shock: even tho nobody eats those hides... :o but according to david hillis, it is possible to breed out the non-pigmentation (white) markings, it just takes time and culling. and there are breeders out there in the past, and the present who have, and are doing so today, among the different breeds, not just the longhorns. the trick is to find them, if that is your interest. ------------------ this is assuming i have understood most of what i have read correctly, that is.... :roll: (but i am only a blonde, and female at that, and am sure i messed up somewhere! roflol and that somewhere is in the percentage) ---------------- 'double helix ranch' website is the place to go, for detailed color info, david hillis had made a lifetime study of this.
