[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 680197, member: 8629"] Sounds stupid but that kind of logic is used all the time. Have a friend that picked up a nice stud quarterhorse out of the kill pen. Previous owners were getting rid of him because another horse bit his ears off and they didn't want the foals to look like that. No lie. I concur that if the test picked up that the heifer is a chimera it would be a real low chance that they weren't sharing a blood supply through the placenta during the critical time and [i]then[/i] the placentas fused. If a heifer is that valuable then raise her up to breeding age and palpate her, she'll just cost you feed and resources; otherwise she goes to town with the steers. [/QUOTE]
