[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1641312, member: 9933"] I am able to test for all known and testable defects through the American Angus Assn. The cost is $45, and for $10 more I can do a complete genomic test that will predict the animals ability to pass on numerous traits, such as birth weights, weaning weights, disposition, carcass qualities and so on. I won't use a bull that hasn't been tested. I suggest you contact the AAA and see what tests are available for your unregistered bull. I assume you can do the same tests, although you would not get EPD's. You should get a rating though. The Genomic scores are given in percentages from 1 to 100. One meaning the animal is in the top 1% for that trait and 100 meaning he is in the lowest percentile. The genetic condition bundle would tell you if your animal was a carrier of one of the identified defects. [/QUOTE]
