[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 600478, member: 13"] I don't think barring animals carrying a mortal genetic defect is "a bit steep." It's my understanding that if you own an animal that is a known carrier, you can still register their calves [b]if the calf is tested and shown free of the defect.[/b] But calves sired by AI bulls that are carriers will not be registerable. I think that's reasonable because AI bulls produce so many calves. Under these rules, you can still breed those superior cows that you own, but are not adding carriers into the breed. I think the AAA is doing a good job dealing with this situation. [/QUOTE]
