I just got my cows results back and now I am confused... so she is a dun and both her parents are dun.... I tested for the red gene and what came back surprised me it has her as homosygous for black and not a carrier for red. I didn't test her for dun because she is a dun and both her parents are dun so I assumed she carries dun and possible homozygous for dun. OK so now she was bred to a bull that is black that carries dun and doesn't carry red.... is it possible for her calf will be dun or because she is homozygous black it will definately be a black?

Ok maybe this will help she is Ed/Ed - Animal is homozygous for dominant black and cannot have red offspring.

50/50 chance of getting dun with that breading. The dun gene and black gene are in to different locations in the DNA. all dun animals will have a black gene. The red and black gene are at the same location. so you can have one or the other or 1 of each red and black genes.
