[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1041196, member: 8265"] Thank you, Willow, that's what I was looking for. So as I kick this around in my head, it would be hard to use a bull that you know would pass the problem to his daughters (and sons). On the other hand, you only know he has it because he was tested because he was good enough to be exported. So you could go with a bull of lesser quality, who might also have it, but he was just not good enough to be tested. Or should you figure it is so rare, that the untested bulls very likely don't have it? Doesn't seem fair to the ones that did get tested. I'm just a small timer so this is new to me - maybe there are a lot of things we just don't want to know about. [/QUOTE]
