isurob, I said "chances" instead of "probability." I was using the calculator, not to predict probabilities, but to compare the probabilities to what I actually got. I was just musing on the irony that what I got from my best cow was the less probable result. That's why I was joking about needing to talk to my bull so he'll do better by me next time.

I'm glad that everyone is liking the calculator. I hope that people use it to their advantage. Again, if anyone has questions or concerns about how to use and interpret it please let me know. Also, I appreciate feedback from those using it. It's always nice to know when someone uses and enjoys your work. Thank you all.

Is there any interest in having me add the A2 and A1 gene to the calculator?

I will look forward to using your program. I enjoy looking at my cows polled, red, A/1A/2 probabilities.

THanks isurob. 16 different possible combinations for the calf wwe have coming soon. Each combination with probability of 6.3%! and that doesn't include whether it will carry dun but i know it has a 50-50 chance for every combination. thanks for all this fun tool, you are an Excel virtuoso!

Wait....the calculator should tell you the probability of all combinations INCLUDING dun. The new calculator should tell you all possible combinations (sex, color, horned/polled, A1/A2). Regarding the 50/50 chance for every combination... I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. If there is a 6.3% chance for every combination then 50/50 isn't possible, right? Thank you for letting me know that you are using (and enjoying) the tool.

I don't have it open right now, but I think your sheet gives the probability that the calf will be dun, i.e. Homozygous bb with At least one copy of Ed. If the calf only gets one copy of b, then it will be black, but carry dun. Likewise a red animal can be bb or Bb. In my case, sire is BB and dam is Bb, that why I said the calf has a 50/50 chance of carrying dun. Am I correct that the sheet gives probabilities of being dun , not carrying dun?

You are correct. Sorry, just a misinterpretation. Thanks.

As somewhat of an excelite (I don't make decisions without excel, pretty sure I have a problem) I loved it!! Worked Great! Thanks so much. It's also pretty easy to work backwards from it (inputting what you think you have and changing it until the percentages change to what the outcome is to find the probable genetic makeup of your cows). Of course I'll still be getting everyone tested but it's a VERY handy tool for whatif scenerios!
