Can someone explain to me how the color pattern genetics work with regard to white socks/bell brows/shorthorn type markings? We are starting to get more of these calves turn up in our Luings (which have shorthorn in their background) but it always seems to be in female calves. Will I start getting male calves like this too in time or does it only go through the female side?
Examples.

One cow of this pattern I kept breeds this color on females, solid red on bulls.
