[QUOTE="alabama, post: 718735, member: 2218"] I am in the same boat. I run a small Angus operation and tested for AM. I had a few come up positive then this NH came out and I had a few more positive. Well all were bred AI so I calved them out this fall but have not tested the calves yet. I am not going to keep any positive cows. I don’t do embryo transplant and it is just not worth testing calves every year. I would rather run non carriers. It is just much easer for me. I have a small pasture about 3 miles from my home place and have put all the positive cows over there to calve this fall and just put a bull in with them. No AI for that group this year. I have plenty of hay so I will run them through the winter and sell them in the spring after weaning this year’s calf when they are about 5 to 6 month bred. They are good cows and should fetch a fair price at the stock yard, long bred this spring when everyone has plenty of grass. I have kept enough heifers that we just bred AI November 28th to replace them. Now I read about this Fawn Calf thing and I have 589 blood in many of my cows. Hopefully this is worked out before spring. I may have to change plans. If it is too bad I may just buy some Herford bulls and sell black blades. [/QUOTE]
