[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1449833, member: 24816"] I have had DNA testing done on most of the bulls that we register. The main reasons for me doing that has been to get EPD's, and to test for recessive trait carrier status. I have also had a couple heifer calves done as well. I hear some folks talking up the idea of cowherd testing, even for commercial herds. May be beneficial at some point, not convinced it is practical for a small time outfit like ours' yet. [/QUOTE]
