Husker Black bulls have been DNA tested for coat color:
Homozygous Black - This bull will sire 100% black progeny when bred to red or black cows.
Heterozygous Black - This bull carries the recessive red gene and when bred to homozygous black cows will
sire 100% black calves. When bred to heterozygous black cows will sire 75% black calves and 25% red calves.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPD): a measure of the genetic merit of a bull for a given trait expressed in actual
units.
