[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1756633, member: 968"] Comments I have gathered on the subject: "[B]Roan cattle [/B]cannot "breed true" but [B]breeding [/B]white [B]cattle [/B]to a solid mate will always yield a [B]roan [/B]calf. [B]The [/B]white [B]color [/B]typical of Charolais and White Park breeds is not related to [B]roan[/B]. [B]Roan [/B]in Shorthorns and Belgian Blues is controlled by [B]the [/B]mast cell growth factor (MGF) gene, also called [B]the [/B]steel locus, on bovine chromosome 5. Part of [B]the [/B]KIT ligand, this region is involved in many cell differentiation processes." "The only sure fire way to get roan is to breed a solid red or black cow to a white shorthorn. A roan bred to a roan will give you 50% roan -25% white -25% solid color. A roan bred to a solid color will give 50% roan and 50% solid color. A roan bred to a white will give 50% roan and 50% white." [/QUOTE]
