[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1254505, member: 12607"] Was your Simmental bull red, highgrit? If not, he might have been homo black - or, even if hetero black, the chance of him throwing red calves would be (statistically) half that of the Hereford bull. There are solid black, homozygous black Simmental sires out there that are known carriers of the spotting gene(like GW Lucky Man 644N). I have at least one cow family in my herd that's carrying on the spot gene from some old-style Simmental sires I used back in the 1980s; they're solid black cows (some with some chrome on the underline), but when bred to solid red Shorthorns, I've gotten some spotted-up calves - but none as flowery as that last one you showed!
