[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1712708, member: 20754"] That is correct, the sire of that calf is silver. This is actually the first calf that she has produced that was not silver. We have not done the dark grey cow to a dark grey bull cross yet, but it is my understanding that 25% of the progeny would be black, 25% would be silver, and 50% would be dark grey. I do not have it with me, but there was a chart published in a book written on the breed that had all of the percentage breakouts for color combinations of the progeny if the sire and dam were silver, grey, dark grey, dun, or black. I will see if I can find that for you when I go home for Thanksgiving. [/QUOTE]
