[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1094333, member: 6399"] You buy a bull of off Craig’s list and do not know who the sire is you are asking for more issues than if it is a just TH or PHA carrier. If someone is buying heifers at the sale yard for cows, there is a 99 percent chance they are not going to be bred clubby, so the chance of them being bred to a carrier are slim to none. That is unless it is the same guy the buys the Craig’s List bull with unknown lineage, then who knows. How many commercial Angus type cows carry the Angus defect gene? Breed them to no carrier your fine. Breeding clubby, use clean cows on carrier bulls, clean bulls on carrier cows, manage your herd. If you plan on selling breeding stock test it and be ethical. If you plan on buying Clubby heifers or bulls make sure they are tested, clean by lineage, or breed clean if you do not know. If you buy from a replacement sale or off of the ranch, the breeder should be up front about what they are selling you, and if it is a carrier they should let you know. If you are the guy who just buy whatever at the sales yard, let it breed with whatever else they get at the sales yard, they are going to have more issues than just genetic defects, these are the same people who do not vaccinate, worm, or manage their herd, go figure. To tell you the truth, milking and calving issues are going to be your bigger problem with some of the clubby bred heifers even when bred to non clubby bulls but that is a different thread. [/QUOTE]
