Hari Om Yes - what many do not realise is that the original cattle were black and very dark brown. It was interbreeding in the 18th century with Hereford cattle that brought in the red gene - and so beloved did that become, it was encouraged as the dominant. Now there are also 'blondes' and 'strawberries' among the colour spectrum. Yxx
