[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 607147, member: 2308"] There are [b]only[/b] three base colors Black which is dominant to both the others Wild type which is dominant to red Red which is recessive and requires 2 copies to show itself. Red is NEVER dominant to any color. Your cows must have 1 copy of the red or wild type. If they have brahman in them it is VERY likely that they are carrying the wild type gene, and that they have passed it on to their calves. If they carry the Black gene and the Wild type gene, there is a 50% chance that they would pass either gene on to their calf. It is very unlikely that the bull has the Wild type gene if he is Registered Hereford. I suppose anything is possible though. If they are carrying the red gene as well, there is a 50% chance of them passing that on to any calf. Bred Hereford, though that should result in a true red calf. We have a cow here, that was born brown. She is now 8 years old, and she looks black, although she does have some lighter colored areas, such as around her muzzle. She carries the wild gene, and has thrown calves with wild type coloring when bred to Red bulls. [/QUOTE]
