Lets see, Axanthics are represented by two gene lines in western hogs. So what are going to say when an axanthic is found with yellow????

next, I asked this question to my mentor(in hogs) If Axanthics hogs are lacking both red and yellow, then why do many individual axanthics have brown on the face and tail? Remember, I am new and full of questions. And most do have small levels of brown. His answer, they do, and I don't know why.

You have clearly made my point, many here are "experts" in genetics, but have a lack of understanding of the animal. And in comparison, the animals are simple.

The problem is, behavior comes with a wide range of responses to one question, The reality is, so does genetics. Other then pure recessives,

In the case of that conda to normal, producing all condas, if that occurs a couple more times. I would question the genetics of the normal. So what about the brown on axanthics? Thanks and Best wishes
