[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1552767, member: 24816"] I absolutely agree with you on that. That is my philosophy too, whenever I sell something I want to represent it as honestly as I know. In years past I had registered Charolais, that was back before DNA and a lot of the now standard practices of semen checks and pelvic measurements were done. In the couple instances where a bull was infertile or a heifer didn't get bred. I tried to make the situation as right as I could. In more recent years since I have had a few registered Angus Bulls to sell, I have had them DNA tested to be sure they were free from the known genetic defects, and had BSE done to give both the buyers and me peace of mind that they were getting what they expected. I have actually heard several registered folks say that the carrier animals were no big deal, just sell them as commercial. In my mind if a commercial farmer were to buy some nice looking cows that unbeknownst to him were carriers and he bred them to a carrier bull, it could be disastrous for that farmer. [/QUOTE]
