[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1781133, member: 42463"] That's great information. I was working with older information, [URL]https://www.cattle.com/read.aspx?id=39[/URL], (and others) and it would not be unusual that conclusions have evolved over time as more research has been done. Still, the point remains that as cattle become increasingly closely related we can expect more genetic anomalies to crop up. The angus people have made great efforts to contain the problems in their cattle and to rid themselves of problems, but the nature of our industry breeds popularity and thus too many animals bred from identical lines and in turn bred to related others. I suspect Ayrshires have succumbed to the same failings as others by generating too many related cattle. [/QUOTE]
