There's a lot said in this thread that I agree with and some I don't.
Firstly, I don't get to make a decision for a customer about culling his animal. Secondly, I have to wonder if this is a fluke about one certain individual. I owned the dam this female was out of and she had no problems conceiving and carrying AI calves to term as this girl is proof.
By unanimous responses here no one has ever heard of the condition before I posted and there seems to be no logical answer to it so far. I would certainly understand if his reproduction vet pinpointed a reason, but he's left perplexed.
Myself, I would keep a heifer calf out of her and see if the same condition popped up before shipping her. I have a breeding guarantee built into my receipt when I sell and I have discussed this with the buyer.
