[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1420169, member: 9096"] There's probably also incomplete dominance involved in it... so if they are heterozygous for it, it shows up as small spots, and homozygous would show up as big blotches.. Not saying that's exactly what's going on, but something like it. The two chrome calves in my previous picture both have solid red mothers and grandmothers... The bull's dam's sire must be where it came from (shorthorn).. though the dam is solid red, and every calf she has ever thrown EXCEPT for this bull has been solid red as well... Now you'd think that the bull would be "weak" in spotting, and bred to solid cows you'd get less of it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.. I'm thinking it does involve several genes, but don't have the ability to research it much deeper [/QUOTE]
