The red and white Holstein is a color variation in Holstein Cattle as a whole. There are still some breeders that select for this color trait (the Red and White Dairy Cattle Association). The disadvantage of red color is that there are several alleles for red color at the Extension site:
Wild Type Red (E+), Black/red (E br) (calves born red but turn black at 3-6 months also called Telstar) and recessive red (e). There is also a Dominant Red allele that is not associated with the extension locus which over rides all alleles at the extension site.
Each of the red alleles creates a slightly different color of red and this makes the possibilities for true breeding animals of each red color allele both interesting and problematic.
Any other issues are associated with the entire Holstein breed and is not linked to any one color.
