Figure 3. ‘Slick’ coat type.
Photographs contrasting slick and nonslick Senepol crossbreeds. The animal pictured on the left (a) carries the PRLR p.Leu462* mutation and is a three-way cross of Tuli (0.5), Senepol (0.25) and Red Angus (0.25); the animal on the right (b) is wild-type and contains Senepol (0.375), Red Angus (0.25), Beefmaster (0.1875) and Simmental (0.1875) ancestry. Pictured animals are representative of the crossbreeds used for genetic analysis of the slick locus, representing coat scores of 1 and 4, respectively.
