[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 680304, member: 8844"] Thanks. And talking about the old bull being "left a bull". He not only wasn't put together very well, and you can't tell this from the pictures, he had SCURS. Which, as part of the herdbook rules, are NOT ALLOWED by any means. When we originally got into the breed we didn't know this. We just recently discovered that it is a SERIOUS issue in the last 6 months. Because I was concerned that the women that had bred him was continually breeding animals with this problem, I called to address it. She told me that "it is just cosmetic, doesn't breed through, and doesn't affect registration" Well, it's not "just cosmetic", it does "breed through" as I have 4 animals out of this breeding with scurs, and it definitely does affect registration as the registration on those animals, the bull, and a cow that was passing them not matter what she was bred to is all having the be revoked. I also believe that the registry is considering revoking the membership of the original breeder as she was continually breeding these animals. So, another bonus for the new bull is that he doesn't have scurs. So, dealing with that, we basically are starting from scratch again since most of the calves we have had (and now upcoming 2 yr heifers) are all out of this bull, and cannot be retained for breeding as they may pass it on, even if bred to a completely polled bull. So...thats some more information for y'all. [/QUOTE]
