[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 665871, member: 968"] Because it is propagating the problem. If you keep breeding AMC cows, you keep the problem around. 50% of your AMC's cow will have AMC calves. You register an AMC heifer, & breed her - 50% of her calves will be AMCs. This way the AM will be around forever. I think the way the Shorthorn Assn. has handled their problem is terrible. All they did was SHUT THEIR EYES to the problem. AAA is getting a lot of pressure to "loosen" their rulings - I hope they don't. It's a tough bullet to swallow right now, but it will be best for the breed (IMO). I realize there are some powerful cows out there that are testing possitive. The AAA is not pulling registration papers. You can still breed them, but you can only register the clean calves. Seems reasonable to me. I just read an Angus Topic and I did not see one ad that identified any animal they were advertising as being AMF. [/QUOTE]
