[QUOTE="RoanDurham, post: 1136036, member: 22389"] I'll be nice here because I see you're trying to learn but this whole topic is about skunk tail markings in Charolais cattle. All charolais are homozygous red in color yet only because they carry the diluter gene do they appear white. Some Charolais -though rare- are prone to throwing spots on the tail head and at times on the under line. It is a genetic condition and it is hereditary. Purebred breeders are doing their best to rid the gene pool of these lines, but because Charolais cattle are deluded in color, it is difficult to notice the white marks. This is more of a birthmark or like you would see in some people who have a white spot in their hair, and in my opinion, has nothing to do with the infusion of another breed. [/QUOTE]
