longhorn minis genetics page

[waverly,]

longhorn minis are genetics-based, modified texas longhorn collectables. simple little guys made to play around with genetics again. <3

5 different tails: curled, upright, teeny, wavy, brush
4 different horns: corkscrew, curved, medium, english
to add - english and asymmetrical horns, bull ring?
no genetics/rarity for tail or horn types
no genetics for eye color

disclaimer that genes aren't all accurate to cattle and were either simplified/renamed/worked around. they also have some genetics based on other animals and more could be added.

Interactions for Simplicity

- various combinations for spotting/colorsided/roan can be considered white, speckled or fleabitten
- white faced + brockling creates brockle-faced
- walnut has an off white muzzle ring and at least a slight shade of red somewhere
- dilution can either affect brindle by diluting eumelanin or leaving it black
- wildtype can be natural cattle coloration or based on sable antelope, caribou, other ungulates
