A new Production line of Quality Brangus
With bloodlines generating from Riverview Ed, Riverview
George, Weona Oscar, Kuraby Duke, Coolabah Quilty, Thirsty Creek 812, Amaroo 50, Tarcoola 902, & 106, Triple B A191, NBS B019,
& now Doonside BB 164-03 also females from Bindaree, Triple B, and Jett, they now have 12 bloodlines coming
through from their females. These bulls mentioned are the maternal sires to the female herd so far.
Big bloodline changes for 2009 with Brangus breedplan
and genestar black the main difference. Steven and Rebeka have a another new breedplan bull with EBV's (Estimated
Breeding Values) for 2009.

BLACK Gene
An animal that carries the Ed/Ed genotype (Homozygote Black) will always have black coat colour and will always have black progeny. This is because black
is the dominant gene and as the animal carries two of the same alleles, one will always be passed on to progeny, and this
will be expressed in progeny regardless of the genotype of the other parent.
An animal that
carries the Ed/E+ genotype will have black coat colour, but is called a Black
Carrier because the Wild Gene is also present. If an animal with this genotype is mated to another Black Carrier, there is
a 25% possibility that progeny may be red. If mated to a red animal,
50% of progeny will be black and 50% red. If mated to a Homozygote Black animal, all progeny will
be black.
An E+/E+ animal is called Wild Type
because the dominant black gene is not present, so the animal may in fact be any colour. If a breeders preference is for red animals then this is the optimal Black Gene genotype for producing red
progeny.
GeneSTAR BLACK is a test to determine an animal’s genotype for red
and black coat colours. They test for two separate genes that work together to determine an animal’s coat colour,
in simple terms what they call the Black Gene and the Red Gene.
The internationally
recognised method for reporting these results uses the following three marker identifiers:
| Ed: |
Represents dominant black coat colour |
| E+: |
Represents the wild type gene |
| e: |
Represents the recessive red gene
All of Hallelujah's Bull's and Female's at point of sale will show what gene type they are for you

RED Gene
An animal that carries the E+/E+ genotype for
the Red Gene is known as a Wild Type. If this animal is also a wild type for the Black Gene,
then it may be any colour, as neither the red nor black genes are present.
An animal with
the E+/e genotype is called a Red Carrier. The coat colour of this animal depends
on its genotype for the Black Gene, but if the animal is a wild type for the Black Gene then it will be red.
An
e/e animal is Homozygous Red. This animal will display a red
coat colour if it is a Wild Type for the Black Gene. All progeny of an animal with this genotype will be Red
Carriers, and will be red if they have no copies of the dominant black Ed allele on the Black Gene.
How they work together
Any animal that carries even one black allele will be black because
the Black Gene is dominant over all others. If you are aiming to breed black cattle, the ideal way to eliminate red
coat colour from your herd is to select only animals that carry the Ed/Ed (Homozygote black) genotype.
If only one
parent is homozygous for the Black Gene, all progeny will still express black coat colour, even if they pick up a non-black
alleles from the other parent.
When breeding two Black Carrier animals, there is a 25% chance that progeny will be
red. Two thirds of black coated progeny from this match will carry the Wild Type gene, and so could
produce red progeny themselves if joined with other Black Carrier animals.
Animals that
are red Carriers or red Homozygotes will only express red
coat colour if they carry the Wild Type genotype for the Black Gene.
Steven & Rebeka have just purchased another new Bull this time from the NBS stud. Top 15% for 200 & 400 day
& top 20% for 600 day. The new bull is NBS Bravata B019 sired by Greendale Unreal, & is now on farm &
already running with Hallelujah's females.
Our latest Sire is BR% 45.68
