I had alway thought Hannibal was Homozygous black and solid patterned, but I remember a few ads from several years back that had red calves pictured as Hannibal's.  I mentioned it on here one time before in a thread, but no one else had an answer for me.

Brad, Hannibal is amazing, I have always thought hat he was one of the more consistent bulls out there. We have some daughters down in Florida that may not wow you with a ton of power but every calving season produce some of the nicest fanciest calves here. I'm gonna have to take you up on some semen this year for sure.

I didn't OWN him at that time, but do remember some being advertised.....let's just say that since I've owned him, I have NEVER seen a red one or ANY with spotting other than on their head or belly.  Theoretically, a homozygous black bull has a 1% chance of siring a red one they say.......

Wasn't there another Hannibal out about that time too or am I thinking of something else?

What are the birthweights like on hannibal?  I have a Strictly business cow that I would like to use him on, and I also have a New Direction/Destiny's Ace 2nd calf heifer that I was thinking of using him on as well.  The heifer was an ET calf of the Res Champ Queen of Hearts.  I'm not to worried about  the SB cow, but I'm a little hesitant about the heifer.  Thanks in advance

How?

if he's a red carrier mated to 98 black cows who are homozygous black and mated to two cows who are red carriers, then you would get a 1% chance of a red calf on all 100 and 50% chance on the two carriers.  is there another explanation that needs elucidation?

when did he die?

I'm obviously NO SCIENTIST....but, I was always told by professionals many times, that with anything homozygous that it's ONLY 99%......maybe that's just a tale, I don't know.....but I actually had it happen before to me personally......the red calf WAS red....but it was kind of a more CLAY COLORED red, MANY YEARS ago on an AI sire that wasn't mine.

when did he die?

Couple years ago.

Brad, I have a small harrietta son which is (harrietta x full force) x 1/4 meyer. Could I breed her to hannibal  being double shot of who?

I have seen a red calf out of a homo black bull...  It was an ET calf and it was really one of those WTF moments..  But alas it dna'd to the sire and was tested as being homo black.  IT was a real dark red and got a little darker as it grew.  It had a black nose...
