[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1823551, member: 16453"] I can guarantee you have bred from cows that are carriers of genetic mutations Travlr, by your own admission on other threads as well as this one you bought older cows with unknown genetic history and you are an advocate of buying unregistered bulls. Did you have any of these tested for recessive defects and guarantee them free? How many have you sent to the butchers because they were carriers of genetic defects? The fact is that these recessive defects are out there in all breeds, your defence if you are worried about it is to use registered bulls that are free by pedigree or by testing. Angus is a breed that has been proactive about managing it and have a very good system in place. Ken [/QUOTE]
