blueroan cows

Anonymous-0 · Mar 9, 2013

Probably the best cows I have. Decided to try and breed some myself. Bought about 6 milking shorthorn cows and bred them to an angus bull. All I get is black calves. What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts? Thanks

The only blue roan cattle I know of are Belgiun Blue breed. If I recall correctly to get a blue roan cross you want to breed a solid black to a solid white.

Apparently the Angus bull you have is homozygous black. In that case you'll always get a black calf. To get a calf that won't necessarily be black,you need a heterozygous black bull.

Try a Holstein bull , preferable one with older genetics, not the 2000# big boned frame cows the AI. org. are breeding today...
