I have the worst luck getting black calves. We bred SunSeeker to a true half blood( PB Angus x Fullblood Maine) Maine Angus cow and look at the calf we got.

Your cow carriers both the red gene and the NON solid patterned gene from the fullblood sire

Sunseeker carries red and NON solid patterned perhaps from Power Plant and unknown in his pedigree

Black is dominant - red recessive - to get a red calf both parents have to carry red - not unusual or unexpected, but with black parents who carry the red gene (heterozygous black) the risk or chance of a red calf is 25% with each mating

Nice calf

Atleast you got a live one that looks to be pretty good regardless of color.

Real Maines still are. Would you really call it a problem? Chromed up calves are pretty easy to sell around here, and if its a good one, its a good one!
