[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1307781, member: 19171"] We run a single bull herd and the neighbors don't have Angus or Simangus cattle so I am pretty certain on the bull. I watched the cow lay down and have the calf so I am 100% certain on that end. I plan on testing the sire and dam both. I have some decent heifers out of the bull this year and about 20 half sisters to the cow, so I want to make sure it isn't genetic. I don't believe it is, but I need to be sure. Can't afford many problems like this with a limited number of cows. Also, I realize 5 or 6 father daughter matings isn't a real good indicator. The cow that had this deformed calf was one of those heifers though. It isn't enough to rule anything out, but it also does cast some doubt on the genetic defect side of things. Thanks for the comments! Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought NH quickly though. [/QUOTE]
