grannys gone and done it

Why am i so hungry? I ate breakfast!

I have been having one of those "eat all the food in the house" days myself........

We like to have funny suppers on Sunday night. If I cook it's waffles. If DH cooks he does popcorn and a movie.

Sundays are usually a big dinner night here, for the simple fact that it was always a day off for me so I could spend the whole day cooking as opposed to the quick dinner nights during the week. Now I think that'll hold true because it looks like FIL will be joining us for dinner two nights a week (Sunday and Thursday, MIL works those evenings), or I'll at least be taking him a plate --- if I'm cooking for him I better do a good job of things, lol.

They are a group derived from the free masons. They teach charity and other stuff... I looked them up.

SO not the "rainbows" that came to mind for me...........only ones I could think of were the Rainbow People that visited our area a time or two during summers while I was growing up.

Morning everyone.DD came early for breakfast and left before it gets hot here.her ac isn't working in her car..

Must say the heat, more to the point humidity, is one thing I do NOT miss at all from out there --- it has been hot here, over 100 twice so far, but it is SUCH a different heat.......the locals think they're melting and I'm out there going, "Oh, it's so nice today", lol.

its tricolored . Long hair . I wouldnt call it curly. fluffy

It just doesn't get much cuter than that!!!!! What a doll!

Marathon starts at 6 am! Crazy enough to be running as long as that, but to do it at 6 am? Torture!

Crazy people............they just had the Hood-to-Coast (195 miles, 12 person relay marathon) which went right through town........those people have some crazy commitment to say the least.

Yes he is. You have to stop him (pup) right away. CB's high voice and laughing is the same thing the pup is doing. That is sending mixed messages to the dog. They are littler mates playing!

Bingo - this is like my niece and her dog. My mom summed it up best by telling my niece that Lucy sees her as her "puppy sister" not her master.......Lucy is a great dog, but all semblance of manners and listening skills go out the window when my niece is working with her because she is all about short, excited bouts of play, lot's of high pitched excited talk, etc.

So did a bunch of research on Porter's Family Tree as to names and colors

Father SBR Winston = Imperial (so Winston had 2 imperial genes, Porter had to get one imperial gene from his father and he got a grey gene from his mother, since Porter has a grey nose) out of an imperial and an imperial trim (Winston did not get the one royal gene from his parent that creates a trim, or he would have been a trim himself. Winston could only pass a solid gene to Porter) the imperial was out of 2 natives and ends there the Imperial trim was out of a Royal and a dead end. The royal out of 2 royals and then dead end

Mother TAYL Pepper = native out of an native and a native trim the native's dam was a native then all the lines die. (Porter's mother only has native genes to pass on. If she had gotten the possible royal gene in the trim parent, she would have been trim herself.)


Porter is a native but must have trim and royal and imperial gene's hiding some where There are 3 recorded calves of his. 2 bulls and a heifer all native BUT ALL their mothers were native as well. (Porter can't have a royal gene or he would be a trim. Porter definitely has one imperial gene from his father.)

Hola! Sorry if someone already responded. I'm still catching up.

So Porter cannot have a gene for trim/royal. If he had a royal gene, it would be expressed by him having white trim. There really is no trim gene; it is expressed when the animal has one royal gene and one native gene. If a yak has 2 royal genes, it will have the "pinto" pattern and be royal colored. If it has 2 native genes, it will be solid colored (Porter). Trim is produced when the animal gets one of each gene (solid & royal). These genes have "incomplete dominance" meaning each gene has some influence on how the yak looks. The genes kind of meet in the middle and you get a little of the royal and a little of the solid, which comes out trim.

So, given each yak has 2 genes, one from each parent, it's

Solid gene + Solid gene = Solid (native) animal Winston, Pepper, & Porter
Solid gene + Royal gene = Trim animal (several of your cows and calves)
Royal gene + Royal gene = Royal animal

You can tell what genes they have by how they look for native-trim-royal. Porter has no royal in him. All your trim calves got their royal gene from the mama.



The Imperial gene different and is inherited separately from solid/royal. (a gene is just a section of a chromosome at a particular location on the DNA strand). Like everything, each individual yak has 2 genes for this trait, one from each parent. This gene is expressed with either a grey or a black (imperial) nose, and has "complete dominance," where the grey is dominant over the imperial/black.
So there are two different genotypes possible for a yak with a grey nose
grey gene + grey gene = grey nose (Pepper)
grey gene + imperial gene = grey nose (the imperial gene is hidden - not expressed- grey dominates) (Porter)
Only one way to get a black nose
imperial gene + imperial gene = black nose (Winston)

When you look at a yak with a grey nose, you don't know for sure whether or not it has an imperial gene. Only through breeding and seeing an offspring with a black nose, will you know. Two grey nosed animals can produce an imperial calf if each parent happens to have a "hidden" imperial gene and the calf is lucky enough to get that specific gene from each parent (25% chance). We know for sure Porter has one Imperial gene because he had to have gotten one from his father, who had two and had to have passed one to Porter.


Now I have to cook dinner. Catching up the rest of the way will have to wait.

I don't know how you keep this straight in your head. You are so smart.
