[QUOTE="kdpihf, post: 1492661, member: 6952"] So I was going to let this go because I really don't care and don't have a dog in the fight and, more importantly, really dislike online bickering. However not a big fan of message board innuendo and rumors. I saw Ed's cows many years ago and spoke with him and if Ed says he saw a problem then I absolutely believe there was a problem in his herd. Ed was an honest and honorable man. The real issue is that no one else has ever seen this problem. Wye has used Alap extensively and is selling sons again this year. Spring Valley sold sons this year. Many other Alap sons have been raised and sold all across the country. The persons who bought the bull from Wye and used him extensively never saw any problems. I have Alap daughters and a son that we are using for his 6th breeding season this year. Again, I have no ownership interest in Alap so nothing to promote, but I would not have his genetics on my farm if I thought there was any type of problem. There are too many other good options available. There is no perfect bull so I am certainly not trying to make that argument for Alap. But he has seen extensive use in too many herds all around the country without this problem appearing for it to be due to his genetic makeup. [/QUOTE]
