[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 695543, member: 6198"] Can you breed for black leg resistance in cattle :oops: OH BOY. Okay some background...hopefully brief. I belong to a website for bees. Some are talking about breeding genetics to withstand mite loads and disease loads. "traditional husbandry" was the word. I was trying to compare like say to cattle and vaccinations are part of a solution. I was trying to draw on 15 years of cattle experience in the genetics. I mean you can breed out thing like conformity, and choose stock that is thrifty, feed efficient, health strong....but can we actually breed out BVD or IBR or black leg for that matter. ....someone tried to spin that you can breed in resistance to black leg...oh where is Vicki the Vet when you need her...any takers on this one. Is it true or is it a line of bull... [/QUOTE]
