[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1593815, member: 26897"] I’m going to, based off of the convo I had with the operation and Angus Association... disagree. To my understanding, when called on about possible problem with the sample used is “it was two markers off of being a match”... which told me that it could still be a son of same sire. But what they were conveying is, the sample on file was deteriorated and could have potentially been the reason it was off. New sample was mailed Saturday. I want to be clear since Branded is making my small molehill into a mountain... this bull was purchased in 2015 to cover commercial cows. It was purchased because it was a heifer bull by genetics. It was purchased because of the reputation of said breeder. Having said that, once we started needing coverage on our purebreds... we chose him to clean them up because we loved his calves for the last few years. We did not make a bad decision there. We’re happy with those results. The only thing I’m frustrated over, is the genomics came back with a 46 milk. Way higher than I like. Parentage doesn’t mean a whole lot on commercials as long as you aren’t getting 100lbs + on heifers that can’t calve them. We got lucky. Parentage means everything now that we run PB. All but two bulls and our calves for this year have been genomic/parent verified. We do not purchase anything without that now. Those other bulls will never see a PB. [/QUOTE]
