[QUOTE="RockinRB, post: 1833991, member: 39764"] No matter what breed of bull you use, your odds of getting a spotted calf out of a cow like that are going to be the same (unless you're using a spotted bull obviously). Spotting genes are independent to hide color and dilution genes. Like Kenny said, yellow spots on a white hide blend in much better than black spots on a white hide, but you still have spots either way. In my experience, the charolais does a lot better job of adding muscle and bone to the cross calves but that doesn't mean a good black won't work either. I'm sure if you keep the cow around long enough you'll get some solid colored calves and some more spotted calves out of her. [/QUOTE]
