Most cattle breeds have a coat color pattern that is characteristic for the breed. Korean cattle (Hanwoo) has a coat color ranging from yellowish brown to dark brown including a red coat color. Variation in the Hanwoo coat color is likely to be the effects of modified genes segregating within the Hanwoo breed. MC1R encoded by the Extension (E) locus was almost fixed with recessive red e allele in the Hanwoo, but other gene (s) might be affecting the variation of the Hanwoo coat color into yellowish to red brown.
