[QUOTE="dun, post: 257353, member: 34"] Black is dominant so if one side of the mating is homozygous black, like most black Angus are, the resulting calf will be black. With a black baldy bred to a red bull, the cow is probably heterozygous black, one each red and black gene, if it's a first generation cross 50% of the calves will be red. We sort of mix and match colors and breeds. Some blacks are bred to Red Angus or Polled Hereford, some of the Red Angus and red Baldys are bred to either Red Angus, black Angus or Polled Hereford. Depends on the cow and what her calves need. We used a red blaze faced Simmenthal in the past and this year we used a homozygous black Simmenthal. dun [/QUOTE]
