[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 593562, member: 3235"] I am unaware of other genetic defects in the Hereford population. The issue is more than just genetic defects that some breeders refuse to admit to. If they deny publishing a known positive IE status, what I worry about is what else are they withholding from me and can I trust the data they do show me.Are they culling the bad udders, the prolapses, the cancer eyes, the bad dispositions, the slow calves at birth, the cows that don't claim calves, etc. These convenience traits are absolutely critical to the future success of the Hereford breed. It takes more than just epds to stay in my operation. As far as making purchasing decisions, I simply won't purchase or use that line of cattle associated with those individuals unless I have first hand knowledge through people I absolutely trust that they are problem free cattle.
