[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 1041232, member: 9002"] If you use the carrier bull you will have approximately 50% carriers in his offspring. If you cull for fertility issues on the daughters you will weed out most of the ones with the translocation over a period of time. Depends how much you think these females are worth to you, but in a commercial herd the cows that calve in the first cycle for ten years are the most profitable. Culling young cows is not. If you are buying from breeders with sound culling practices in regards to fertility most of the carriers within a population should be long gone, so you should be safe buying form these types of breeders. However as I said we did see varying results in terms of how much individuals were affected. [/QUOTE]
