Hi Carol, would be interested to read what Sheila thinks of the MG question. My documentation here is that the Grey of MG is a dominant.
This has always been demonstrated in all the 'crossings' I have seen with various pure herds using an MG Bull.
Basically the 'silver' MG is a double
the 'grey/dark' is a single and there is also a variation which shows the red underneath!
Also your explanation re the Dun gene just blew me away ...I had a conversation just reciently re this and my thoughts were that the Dun was covered by the red!
Bye the way excellent work!
Also is it possible to get my cattle 'tail hairs' to Canada?
Kathleen.
