[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 458680, member: 4203"] Depends on what the root problem is. If it was an injury or illness probably not, on the other hand if there is a deformity or something sure it can be passed on - another "danger" of AI in my opinion - could be passing on the exact sorts of problem you describe. On the other hand if a bull were injured or in some kind of accident that made it difficult for him to cover cows it does allow continued use of his genetics. At some point, though one needs to evaluate the propensity to be involved in accidents or catching illnesses - sometimes it is random, but I swear I have seen lines of females that all of them seemed to have some kind of problem - they live long enough to have a few calves but then eventually they all get hit by trains or cars or just die randomly - probably coincidental but who knows?
