Fireball is homozygous red at the Extension locus (e/e), heterzygous S+/s at the Spotting locus, and homozygous wildtype at the Dilution (ds+/ds+), Color-sided (cs+/cs+), Dun (Dn+/Dn+), and Roan (r+/r+) loci. Thus, she is solid red. Her first calf (D-H Firecracker, sired by Blue Jacket) has the genotype E+/e ds+/ds+ s/s cs+/cs+ Dn+/Dn+ r+/r+ Br/- Bc/-, so it is developing with large spots of reddish brown (which are beginning to show brindling) on the head, neck, sides of body, and legs. Her second calf was a solid light reddish-brown bull, sired by D-H Bulldozer. Its genotype was E+/e Ds/ds+ S+/- cs+/cs+ Dn+/Dn+ r+/r+. Fireball is primarily from the Phillips and WR families of Texas Longhorns, but also has some distant ancestors from the Peeler and Yates familes as well (through the sire of Ramblin Rose, Mr. Marlboro).
