[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 589334, member: 411"] Keep in mind that they don't just know that these problems exist and it takes time to figure out that a problem is genetic. Do you (if you own a registered herd) report EVERY problem to your breed registry. Most people don't. I don't report every cough and abortion etc. American Angus Association whom I am a long time member has been VERY good about letting us know as soon as they figured it out. They sent a letter to all members informing of the CCS and asking for any cases each member might have had and were working on a DNA test to find the gene. Even Select Sires is working on determining carriers of the gene. I personally have bred to a carrier and was informed imediately. Plus they are going to be testing EVERY sire in there program and Discontinuing them. All new sires are going to be tested as well. So be careful about accusing these places of not wanting to loose there @sses. They are not in the business to hide things. They want strong healthy animal to promote there cattle not sick or Carriers. Double R [/QUOTE]
