[QUOTE="PLR, post: 53039, member: 540"] taillessness is thought to be caused by a ressesive gene. To show both Bull and Cow must have the gene. So if you breed those two animals again you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting a tail less calf and a 2 in 4 chance of having it as a ressive trait that could show up in later generations. If you think the cow is good and will produce well then I wouldnt sell her cause chances are when bred to a different bull it will never happen again. Shelby [/QUOTE]
