Best Answer

It's called incomplete dominance or Co-dominance. The alleles for white and red cannot overpower one another (in other words, the red gene is never dominant over the white gene but both can occur at the same time) to make the calf either white or red, so instead the coat coloration of the calf has red and white hairs that are intermingled with each other.
