Is it possible?

I have a question for all you genetic gurus out there. We have a solid black (no white in face) first calf heifer. She is an Aftershock daughter, mated to a purebred angus bull. Her calf is a black baldy. What's up with that?

 

[farmboy]

Yes.

 

[OH Breeder]

Aftershock is a Meyer 734 Son.

Wow...consider yourself extremely lucky!  The guys breeding for baldies, and getting black calves, are really going to hate you...   ;D

 

[olsun]

Are you guys saying that the white or bald face is a recessive trait?

 

[BadgerFan]

Are you guys saying that the white or bald face is a recessive trait?

no it's dominant.  it's a bear to breed off a white face if that's your intention.

 

[crybaby]

the chances of you getting that should be slim to none-- but in your case apparently it bred on...  does your heifer have any other white on her?

I got a rwf hereford angus cow that I've had 6 calves out of and only one baldy! You are lucky!

AFTERSHOCK  WAS A BALDY HIMSELF.
