[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1823961, member: 38220"] We played around in the club calf arena prior to 2008 and learned how to manage recessive defect carriers (TH and PHA). We tried to have clean cows and use the dirty bulls to raise a winner. Later on had a couple dirty cows and used clean bulls on them. In 2008 we decided to start putting together a registered Angus herd. That was about the same time the curly calf (AM) issue was published and water head (NH) was right behind. Steered clear of all cows that had 1680 in their pedigree and dodged those issues. Somehow have steered clear of fawn calf (CA) as well. Had several potentials and tested them and they were negative. I think I have a couple cows that are OH and M1 potential about 9 generations back and since those conditions aren't lethal, haven't tested to clear them, but probably should. Would be very surprised if they were carriers. [/QUOTE]
