[QUOTE="Brand, post: 1220359, member: 23314"] This is a real touchy matter on Genetic Testing here are a list of question or issues that need to be better addresses for all of us Which company does what and which companies are better in which tests Did the breed association come up with the original markers to compare Did the original markers come from some herds that claimed to lead the breed in certain areas Were low performing markers added to the original markers and where did they come from which herd or where No question Dairy industry can achieve this but real questions with the beef business where large seed stock vs smaller breeders issue of out cross genetics not compared at all Had a local dairyman sell out over genetic testing. After the tested their dairy cattle they had a dispersal sale and could not give them away. Before they were known as one of the top dairy's around selling embryos even showing and selling breeding stock to several states and some embryo even going to overseas. After that one genetic testing they never thought anything as there cattle were top producers etc. that one genetic test killed there operation over 30 years of cattle breeding. My question this beef genetic testing is no friend to the small breeder unless they are using genetics from herds where top markers were originated. That my option on t.his waiting for someone to prove me wrong [/QUOTE]
