In 1904, a Dexter cow named Gort Sally was born in the USA. She was born to two black parents, who each carried a recessive red color gene.
In 1913, she gave birth to a red heifer calf, Fred's Sally, sired by Gort Fred, a black bull who oviously carried a recessive red color gene.
Fred's Sally gave birth to a black bull, Shannon, who sired a black bull, Echo of Hempstead House in 1925.
Echo sired a black bull, Warrior of Hempstead House in 1927.
Warrior sired a black bull, Fortune's Warrior in 1937, who sired a black bull named Peerless Colonel in 1942.
Peerless Colonel sired a black bull named Peerless Colonel 2 in 1948.
Colonel 2 sired a black bull named Echo's Black Captain in 1953.
Black Captain sired a black bull named Captain Valiant, who sired a black bull named Charles of Melbourne in 1959.
Charles sired a black cow named Dorothy of Melborne in 1962.
Dorothy gave birth to a black cow, Penny of Melborne, who gave birth to a black bull, Alander Alcan.
Alcan sired a black bull, Alander Hannibal, who sired a black bull, Bruno Hill, who sired a black cow named Peerless Lady.
Lady gave birth to a black bull, Bruno of Myers Farm, who sired a black bull named Ebony of Myers Farm.
Ebony combined with a black cow, Wee Gaelic Ms. Eire, to produce a red cow, Wee Gaelic Ms Fermoy in 1991.
Wee Gaelic Ms Fermoy was AI'd to a black bull, Rafter Dee Finn Bennach, and produced a black female, Legacy Eve of Paradise, a legacy Qualified cow.
Eve was successively bred to a black bull, Brenn of Paradise, to produce 4 black heifers. Three of the heifers carry the red that traces back to Gort Sally.
One of Eve's heifers, Dara Inion of Paradise, was bred to Brenn of Paradise and produced a black bull calf named Adam One of Paradise, who carries the traditional red color.
By breeding Adam One back to Dara Inion and to Legacy Eve, the possibility is there to produce Traditional Red Dexters. His semen can also spred the recessive red color to other traditional breeders.
Judicious breeding by owners of Dexters that carry the Traditional red can expand the pool of Traditional red Dexters.
By continual breeding of Legacy Eve of Paradise to Legacy bulls, eventually a Legacy bull that carries Legacy red will be born. He can then be bred back to Eve until a Legacy red cow and a Legacy red bull are produced.
Hopefully, Eve and I will live long enough to see this happen.
