[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 840511, member: 968"] If you use a known carrier on "clean" cows, yes, you won't have any genetic defective calves. BUT, you are propagating the defect by producing half the calf crop as carriers. So, yes, if you are the "responsible" breeder, you can use a carrier and all calves (in your mind) are going to be TERMINAL. BUT (another big but) unless you feed out & cut each ones throat, you don't know if some of those heifers sold as feeders ends up in someones breeding herd. Multiplying the defect. If you have a carrier cow, you can continue to use her if you test each & every calf & make sure her 50% carrier calves are harvested. Still risking getting a carrier out in the industry. [/QUOTE]
