[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1136006, member: 22072"] Sim.....char...totally different chrome....if you're getting it out of a cow that looks sim or char and you bought the cow, it probably has longhorn in it somewhere. And it will come out years down the road too. As it washes out through generations, you'll still get the white tail without the rest of the white many many generations down the line out of the blue..
