Does Roan Red roan coffee-colored or triskle have 3 color hairs?
roan
If a bay horse with a red roan horse the could the color be blue roan?
Yes, it is possible.
What does the color roan look like and what are the primary base colors that create the make-up of the color roan?
The roan color is created when a bay, chestnut, or black horse has the roan gene, which works white and gray hairs into the coat so that only the head, lower legs, and the mane and tail show characteristics of the original color. A bay horse with the roan gene (called Bay Roan) will look a reddish-pink color except on his head and legs which will be brown and the mane and tail which will be black. A chestnut horse with the roan gene (called Strawberry Roan/Red Roan) will have more of an orangey reddish colored head, lower legs, mane, and tail, and the body will appear pink or strawberry colored. On a black horse with the roan gene (Blue Roan) the head, legs, mane, and tail will be black and the body will appear blue.
What color horse will you get if you breed a strawberry roan stallion with a blue roan mare?
If either horse is homozygous for roan the foal will be roan, if both are heterozygous there is a 75% chance that the foal will be roan. If by strawberry roan you mean the stallion is a bay roan as opposed to a chestnut roan, we can surmise that the stallion is Rn-A-E- The mare is Rn-aaE- The base color of the foal, without regard to whether it is roan is as follows If the stallion or mare is EE at the extension site they will produce either a bay or black foal...since the stallion is bay he could be AA (only bay foals) or Aa which will produce 50-50 bay or black with this mare. If both the mare and the stallion are Ee at the extension site there is a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
Is there such thing as a gray roan?
Yes and no. The term grey roan comes mostly from the Jockey Club, it was used when horsemen did not have genetic color tests available to tell what color was what. Since a horse roans out as it gets older people found it hard to tell if it was grey or roan in time to list it's permanent color, so they would just say it was a' grey roan'. However the Thoroughbred does not come in true roan so the listing was false. There can be instances of other breeds being born a solid color, then roaning out a bit then suddenly they begin to grey,because they carry the grey gene mutation. So a horse can be roan then turn grey out over time. Remember grey and roan are both color modifiers and not colors in themselves.
What is the difference between a mitchell ferret and a roan ferret?
A Roan ferret refers to pattern coloring - the concentration and distribution of color on the body, mask, and nose with 50% to 60% colored guard hairs (any color) and 40% to 50% white guard hairs, The different colorings are - Black Roan (Silver), Black Sable Roan, Champagne Roan, Chocolate Roan, Cinnamon Roan, and Sable Roan. I did't find any references to a mitchell ferret.
How tall is a blue roan horse?
Roan does not affect a horses height in any way. Roan is simply a coat color modifier. A blue roan is just a black horse with the roan modifier.
When roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color genes how would one produce a herd of pure breeding roan colored cattle?
It's simply not possible. When you breed a roan cow to a roan bull you only have a 50% chance of producing roan offspring, a 25% chance of producing white offspring and a 25% chance of producing red offspring. You have a much higher chance of producing a pure breeding red or white herd than a roan-coloured herd.
When roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color genes how would one produce a herd of pure-breeding roan-colored cattle?
Genetics is a tricky thing and there are no 100% guarantees that you will get the color you want. That being said the best possible way that this might be achieved would to test the genetics of each breeding pair. And continue to breed a successful pair, but have a care not to over breed them. A roan will not necessarily produce another roan either. Any born not of the color you want test to make sure of the genetics and decide to keep and breed or sell. It would take years of careful screening, breeding, trials and errors and disappointments. But with patience and persistence I believe that it would be possible. :)
What is a blue roan?
A blue roan is not actually blue, gray and wight hairs give the illusion of the color blue.
How do you get a red-roan horse?
Blue roan is a black horse with the roan gene. Some black horses tend to retain their black color even when exposed to sun (non-fading black) others, like the horse described above will fade when exposed to sunlight. The best way to keep a black horse (or any other color) from fading is to keep them out of the sun. In during the day and out at night is one option as is the use of sheets and hoods. There are some conditioners and shampoos that claim to decrease fading.
Is there buckskin roan horse color?
Yes buckskin and roan genetics can show up on the same horse. the basic genetics would look like this A-E-Crcr-Rn-
