Thanks! We were excited that she (Chick) dropped color. Since she's black and the little guy's daddy is black, we weren't too hopeful. But Chick has good color in her line. Her mother is dun and her father is red...nice to see it work out in our favor!

I hate to rain on your parade, but Chick's dun didn't do it by herself. The little guy's daddy had to carry dun also.

It takes two to make a dun calf.

Well, you're quite right! He's got lots of dun in his line...

Great looking calf!! I have one coming soon, too. Momma is a dun, daddy is black. Last calf she had was black.
