She must have an E+ allele, and different modifiers are giving her a heavy dose of the black shading that is allowed to show when an animal has an E+ allele. The lighter color around her muzzle and ears is another pattern, yet, called mealy mouth. Those two traits of the super dark shading and mealy mouth are probably not linked genetically, but they tend to be carried in the same bloodline. Sounds like she is still red.

The sire is red (no dun or black) and the dam is dun, carries red. Their heifer at 8 months was primarily red with black marbled into her coat, but UC Davis test results show she is red carries dun. At 1-year of age she is primarily black with red hair from her bangs all the way down her spine. There is some red around her ears. Her nose is black with a pink surround. Face, including around eyes--black. Quite unique! Any thoughts? She is dam and sire verified. Thank you very much! We appreciate this info, but we have a question about one of our cows.
