[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 692840, member: 8844"] Wow, didn't think this would be such a big topic! Anyways, to everyone, animals that have scurs are still considered POLLED. Genetic tests that identify whether an animal is polled or horned will always show a scurred animal as polled, not horned, or make any other note to know if the animal is scurred or not. And, while you make a good point of animals with scurs being better, I don't know if that would ring true if tests were done or not. My best 2yr heifer and yearling bull both have scurs, but we also have had calves with scurs that weren't very impressive (due to the old bulls genetics) And yes Jeanne, you are right. Every calf she has ever produced for us has been a bull. (Just one other reason I think she should leave the place) We are going to give her one more chance with the new bull to see if her stats change. Thanks for all the input!! [/QUOTE]
