[QUOTE="simme, post: 1841459, member: 40418"] I know very little about Charolais genetics. But I would be concerned about Progressive Ataxia that seems to be in the breed now. I read recently that about 15% of the Charolais tested carry this defect, if I understood correctly. If you plan to retain any replacements, might should investigate. [I]"Progressive ataxia (PA) of Charolais cattle is characterized by onset of unsteady gait and stiff hind limbs with gradual worsening of the condition that results in an inability to stand and permanent recumbency (lying down). Other signs of the disease include head bobbing when excited and, in females, irregular pulsatile urination. Onset of the disease is typically around 18 months of age but can occur as early as 6 months or as late as 3-5 years. The evolution of the disease is also variable from a few weeks to more than 18 months from onset of signs."[/I] [/QUOTE]
