[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 383654, member: 2308"] That is for sure. There are several genes that work to give you white markings on the face and/or legs, and they can work together to give you some interesting markings. You have the Whiteface (from the Hereford), the Blaze face (which from what I gather is mostly Simmi or Holstien), the recessive spotting(Shorthorn, Maine, Simmental etc), and then you can also add in the brockling gene(from the solid colored breeds and Shorthorn) which is usually what gives you the dark patches in the white areas (such as a brockle face OR mottled legs). Goggle eyes, for the most part, I don't think are from the brockling gene, from what I have read they are a different gene which isn't completely understood yet. I found a very good article that explains how the genes work, and is actually understandable to the average person. Can't remeber the webpage, but if someone is interested, they can PM me and I will email it to them. [/QUOTE]
