I have always been told, and passed that along to others, and assumed when Westwind Thomas was shown to carry red that Jamie O'Callen carries red. According to a recent test of his semen by LEGACY this is not the case. The results were checked and verified. Jamie O'Callen is ED/ED.
For those seeking semen to breed their animals for red take note! Westwind Thomas must have gotten his red through the dam's side of the pedigree.

I believe this was known years ago, Judy. At least I remember it being discussed early on when color testing became available, around 1998/9. Are there any other bulls you have questions about? cheers, c.

I will be looking for a traditional bull to use next year that does carry red, I thought that I had read somewhere recently that Jamie O'Callen carried red...so thanks for clearing this up.

Very interesting!
I remembered where I got that information about Jamie O'Callen carrying red. It came to me with the TYRP1 research report from Sheila Schmutz, Canadian Dexter researcher, years ago.
This is the SECOND bull on this report that *I* have had tested and discovered to be recorded incorrectly on this report. So is Priapus. I don't know how many if any of them are correct or wrong! I have taken a photo of the report. Eventually I will get it to upload This is a report from CANADA. I've seen no other test regarding O'Callen color recessives.
Later,
Oops really mucked this one up. I posted in the wrong thread. Gene posted the photo for me in that thread about the time I was moving my response to the right thread. LOL. If he does not get it moved look in the previous thread for a photo of the report.

Just a remind folks. DO NOT take these results to be accurate. Bullfinch is correct, but Jamie O'Callen and Aldebaran Priapus are NOT.
Gene, YES! Semen can be tested. Care must be taken to wrap the straw in bubble wrap or tape inside stiff folded cardboard or both so that the straw does not get smushed in transit for then it would be lost. ( Has happened).
Rua Doches. DNA typed. I have to check about other tests - - - cannot remember. His sire was color tested ED/ED.
