[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 718523, member: 13"] This link will search for all genetic carriers. May take a while, depending on your internet connection. [url=http://www.angus.org/Pub/Defects.aspx]http://www.angus.org/Pub/Defects.aspx[/url] If an animal is tested, there should be a designation on his registration papers, such as AMF for Arthrogryposis Multiplex Free or AMC for a carrier. But it's always buyer beware. Know who you're buying from and if in doubt, ASK if the animal has been tested or should be tested. Edited to add: It's not just Angus carrying these defects. If you're buying or using another breed that has used Angus to turn black, they may be carriers, too. So check with that breed assn for how they're handling these problems. [/QUOTE]
