[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 41538"] Attributing some state such as a wounded hoof to genetics is baseless unless there is some phenotypical characteristic present such as a malformed hoof, thin hoof, etc... Furthermore, just because a parent carries a gene and shows its phenotype it doesn't necessarily mean that offspring will have the same phenotype. The gene may be recessive or not present in the offpring at all. BTW: Phenotype refers to the gene showing up physically and its only because it either is a dominant gene or the individual carries to recessive genes; one from each parent. A perfect example is eye color in humans. The study of genetics is quite complex and I have seen many "genetic" claims in the cattle business that are more related to nutrition, environment and upbringing. Thanks [/QUOTE]
