Hereford is good at that. We started out with herefords and 5 generations later I've still got lots of calves with white tail "flags".. I found white socks will usually be accompanied by white tail tips, but not necessarily the other way around. This year I have 3 white footed calves, all 3 with white tail tips, and another couple with just white tail tips. It really stands out when they're young and the tail is clean, once they're older you don't notice it anymore.. Around here you don't get docked anything for white tails, though I haven't seen and real skunk tails go through.. You will get docked for a lot of white/roan... So shorthorn calves get mistaken for longhorn... Cream colored char's are OK though.
The answer to skunk tails is... SPRAY PAINT!
