[QUOTE="waihou, post: 1194143, member: 6511"] Murray Greys are homozygous black plus one or two dilution genes. Two copies give you silver, one copy gives you chocolate. No dilution genes give you black. If you mate two chocolate MG's with the right combination of the chromosomes with no dilution genes you get a black. I have 2 lovely pure bred registered black cows! These are both by dark grey bulls over dark grey cows. Yes you may get black calves, but only from dark grey cows, not from silver cows using an Angus bull. Nether of these cows has had a black calf. 13 year old dam with her 12th calf.
