[QUOTE="JDI, post: 214943, member: 3318"] If I was you, I would be testing the dam and sire of the bull, if you still have them, to see where the genetic problem is coming from, before people that have bought other bulls and heifer's from you start having major problems. That is my main concern!!!! The sire has produced close to 50 calves & I have seen 0 problems from his cows or his bulls over a 4 year period. I am not the only one using this bull. Now the dam, this was her first calf. What bothers me is he has no test proof that this is the problem. DNA test ect. I don't know the cows or heifers he bred this bull to (bone structure,pelvic size,ect...)He is going by something he heard in a conversation with some people he can't even remember their name or exactly when. Just looking for information that might help clarify IF there is a problem or not. [/QUOTE]
