[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 55988, member: 9"] His genetics are solid Longhorn. One thing about Longhorns is that regardless of which colors are bred together, the sky's the limit for the color of the calves. On other hand, if a Longhorn Sire and Dam are 2 or 3 generations hymogonous for a given solid color, calves most probabily will be the solid color. The "Red Roans" and "Blue Roans" are almost always white as a calf. With age, their coloring (speckles, topline, other points) emerges. You can see the roaning in the undercoat. There are also "Mulberry Roans." Our Red Roan 3.5 yr old bull now is mostly a musty off white color with enough "red" markings (speckles, topline, etc.). Our Red Roan bull has sired solid red, brown, red roan, and mixed color calves from different dams. All in all, there are NO two longhorns with the EXACT same color. Sorta like fingerprints. We had a mostly red cow that calved an almost identical patterned heifer; however, there were several distinct color markings between the two. All of our registered Longhorns have a minimum of 10 generations of purebred Longhorn sires/dams. You cannot register one with the Longhorn Associations if it has any cross-breeding in their lineage (excusing of course 100-500 years ago when the Longhorns were obviously started from something).
