Mare is buckskin and sire is blue roan?

There are several different possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the parents. The base possibilities are: chestnut bay black The dilute gene (that makes the mare a buckskin) will give you: palomino buckskin smoky black The roan gene (that makes the sire roan) will give you: red roan bay roan blue roan If both genes are passed on, you get: palomino roan buckskin roan smoky black roan


What color will the calves be and in what proportion from a herd of white cows and a roan bull?

In a herd of Shorthorn cattle where the herdbull is roan and the cows are all white, it is probable that the resulting offspring from these crosses will yield 50% white calves and 50% roan calves.


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.


What type of inheritance is Roan in cows and bulls?

Roan is an example of incomplete dominance inheritance in cows and bulls. In this type of inheritance, the heterozygous individual will display a phenotype that is a mixture of the two homozygous genotypes. In the case of roan cattle, the roan color pattern is expressed when a black coat color allele and a red coat color allele are present.


What horse color has a sprinkling or more of white hairs at birth and stays the same color as it ages?

A horse with a roan coat color has a mixture of white and colored hairs from birth that remain the same as it ages. Roan horses can have blue roan (dark coat with white hairs) or red roan (chestnut coat with white hairs) variations.

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 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.

What coat has mixed three-color hairs out of Coffee-colored Triskel Roan and Red-roan?

its actually the coat roan, which has a mix of three colors, including white. the colors can be white roan, black roan, or even chestnut roan to have three colors. red roan only has reddish and white hairs, and there is no such thing as triskel or coffee-colored.


What coat color is usually red with white hairs mixed in the body?

If you are speaking of equine coat colors, the answer is roan. Roan coloration comes in various varieties also. If the horse has deep red coloration with white mottling and a dark tail and mane, it is a called a bay roan (due to the dark tail and main). Many of these horses, when their hair is groomed off look sort of lavender in color. A true lavender roan is the rarest color of equine and will sport white hairs at the top of the tail and base of the mane as well. An all over mottled roan horse who looks brownish is called simply a roan and has a light brown Maine and tail. When the roan horse is light enough to look as though it has a pinkish color, it is called a strawberry roan. One interesting thing of note is that genetically a roan-to-roan breeding is genetically lethal to a horses off-spring. For Howrse Archimedes' question: Red Roan
