[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 592406, member: 1683"] On numerous occasions during the "1680 Panic-prone" stampede, several of the contributors on this thread have cautioned everyone to calm down and not get carried away with "Chicken-Little Sky- Falling" predictions and what-ifs, - and - AGAIN I would second the motion that we all attempt to LEARN as much about the Curly Calf Syndrome gene as possible, before we throw up our pitchforks, and say that the End of The World has passed us by, and we have failed to get off of the boat! There are many roadways and pathways that breeders may take in keeping their seedstock free of problems, including the CCS gene (IF that CCS gene [b][i]IS[/i][/b] a viable problem), if they decide that they wish to direct their seedstock selections along different lines. But to do so, without adequate, sufficient, and suitable foresight and knowledge, given the full and correct information encompassing the genetic FACTS of the CCS gene, is inadvisable at the very least. To be fully informed about ALL of the facts in making any decision is mandatory if one wishes to minimize making mistakes which could plague them in later years. No one has the answers to these current and pertinent questions, and, therefore I would recommend that we all take another breath - and WAIT until more dependable information is published - information that is trustworthy, reliable and responsible. Going off half-cocked will result in the entire load blowing up in your face. I really don't think any one of us would relish that consequence occurring! The fact that the Bovine Gestation Period is 283 days gives us plenty of time to plan a course of action to preclude making expensive and time-consuming errors in our seedstock planning. In the interim, continue to explore other possibilities in your management protocols. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
