[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1046164, member: 14544"] At some point, it will become evident to everyone that there isn't an animal alive that doesn't carry, exhibit or both carry and exhibit more than one defect. The more information we gain from genetic testing and discovery, the more we will see. I think it is not intelligent to completely throw out a useful sire because of a discovered carrier state. 75 years from now, the pedigrees are going to be a mile long to just list the potential defects and status of the animal, its dam and sire. You'll never get the grand dam's and grand sires on the same piece of paper in normal font. The key will be picking the important defects, and knowing pedigrees. It use to be that you could cross a terminal breed on a maternal breed and not worry about a thing. Now, you can end up in a wreck that way. It will all boil down to information and how do you use it. Now tar me and feather me. But if you don't believe me, I have a theory that I'll share. [/QUOTE]
