A new centric fusion translocation, rob(16;20), was discovered in a phenotypically normal bull. C‐banding revealed the dicentric nature of this centric fusion. This bull is a descendant of a German red pied bull and a Czechoslovakian red pied cow. Its mother and 26 half‐brothers had normal karyotypes, indicating that this translocation arose “de novo”.
