[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1594058, member: 37941"] NEF -- you are pointing out something on CT that seems to pop up frequently and that is a dramatic difference in goals between a seedstock breeder and a commercial operation. I would totally agree on your statement that many commercial operations aren't concerned with defects, dna testing, and epds. Seedstock breeders definitely should be focusing on those things for their operations (imo). But many commercial operations simply want a bred female first, a live calf second, a weaned decent calf third, and repeat that fourth. Also -- this daddy issue thread is great and I'm interested on how it plays out for you. My little operation only uses AI and we had a calf born this year that didn't match our records for birthing schedule. So is it sire A or sire B? Three weeks early or or three weeks late? Doesn't matter for our operation more than curiosity, but for a larger operation I could easily see something happen. [/QUOTE]
