[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 166112, member: 13"] I'm sure it's used to identify his calves. But several years ago there was a hot bull that, when DNA tested, turned out to be the son of the clean up bull, not the AI sire shown on his registration certificate. And there's a story floating around about a cow that was bought from and left to be flushed at one of the big operations. When a heifer from the flush was DNA tested to be flushed, they found out that a bull calf in the same pen as the cow had bred her before she was flushed. They traced him down and verified his DNA. So, in those instances at least, it is also used to verify parentage when animals are to be flushed or AIed. [/QUOTE]
