so far at least with Porter the calves have all taken after their mothers. The 2 natives (all black) both had native calves and the 2 trims (with a little white) both had trim calves.

According to jane's info, Porter will never produce a Royal, even if he breeds a Royal. Royal takes 2 genes, one from each parent. Porter doesn't have one to give. All of your calves with white trim have one Royal gene and one black/plain gene (or whatever Porter is called) so they have the potential to provide a gene for Royal, but it's 50-50.

If I am remembering correctly... Porter has no white trim, right?

right porter is a native (black with grey nose) BUT his grand sire was Dreadlock and sire was Chewbaccakka Dreadlock was mentioned in that coloring/breeding page. I need to find out what porter's mother was

Doesn't matter what his parents were, only what genes he ended up with. If what that man said in the article is true, a yak with Porter's coloring has 2 genes for solid. A yak with trim has one solid gene and one Royal gene. A Royal has 2 Royal genes. Porter can never contribute a Royal gene to his offspring because he does not have one. Your cows with trim are supplying the one Royal gene to mix with one of Porter's solid genes to create a baby with trim. Which cows are solid black? They can only have solid babies with Porter. (If the article writer knew what he was talking about, and it sounded like he did.)

Because it's incomplete dominance, you know each yak's genotype by what color they are. (Like blue/black/splash in chickens) Porter does not have a hidden Royal gene. Each of your yaks with trim have one Royal gene, giving them a 50-50 chance of passing it on. Porter passes on a solid gene 100% of the time.


It is the other color, Imperial, that may be hidden. Porter could potentially have one Imperial gene for the all black nose. You will never know if he has the gene unless you have a female with the Imperial gene, and they get the right combination to produce the all black nose in their offspring. Breed Porter to a cow with one Imperial gene, and chances are 25% for an Imperial baby. 50% chance if the mama has a black nose (meaning 2 genes).

not sure about the "hiden" color. ANd Trims are fine with me. Then when/if I replace porter with a royal I get some royals.

I edited the post. It might make sense now.

Sure, but it's nice to know how it works and what you can expect.

Finally got home. What an awful event. They held every single bird by the wings so guess what?? Can't see anything but their feet and bellies. No pretty feathers.

I had trios listed on my farm page for $350. These are second generation from GreenFire farms. Good quality birds. The ones I brought to the auction weren't my best birds, because I'm not 100% stupid. Only mostly. Still would've been at least $100 for the trio.

They started Mr. Redcomb at $1. I should've bought him back. I'd have rather eaten him for that price. He was way too good of a roo for whatever will happen to him now.

I'm still just FLOORED that the auctioneer started buff orps higher than my honas. I think he must've known the seller. Maybe they were his! There was no rhyme or reason to it. Completely arbitrary.

I'm still so mad. I'm going to sleep on it before I flame them on Facebook. I know it's not mature, but I don't want anyone ripped off like we were. I say "we" because I met the lady who sold a roo for 50¢. After the sale barn's commission she sold a full grown rooster for 37.5¢.

ROBBERY. IT'S A DAM CRYIN SHAME. I'd rather eat my flock than sell something for 50¢. It's humiliating. It's saying "I see no value in the work you've done" and "I see no value in this life." One of my babies cried the entire time. I told the other lady that my birds have NEVER been handled that way. That I'm there when they hatch, looking into their eyes and counting their toes. I'm there when to go from paper towels to pine shavings to tractor. I put them on the roosts at night. I treat my birds like royalty.

After the auction I had to get food for the group (cooking for 40+ this weekend) and I had a poop emergency in Walmart. I made it, but I feel really sorry for the other woman that was in there. Then I had to pick up Jasper, then drive into a diff town to grab the kids.

I was supposed to have supper with my parents. When I realized I had swapped the times, I had them get the kids and go on. I thought after 30 mins or so is be able to meet them. Needless to say I missed supper totally.

Back at home I had to potty so bad that I left the kids in the car and threw Jasper at DH as I trotted by.

Making pancakes for breakfast. See y'all tomorrow.
