[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1329795, member: 24565"] Just an opinion: When and if the genetic testing becomes accurate, can pinpoint all genes responsible for given or specific traits and "control" breeding decisions, the obvious will be that all animals are flawed in some way. This does not even account for the noise that accompanies each conception that can introduce faults and defects in new individuals. We all see the future in different ways. I think that we will learn that once companies or associations have the mass of data, livestock will undergo the GMO process to swap genes and create super what-evers: milkers, meat, maternal, ... These will be expensive, controlled and folks like you and me will be buyers of the high dollar products, if available to the common man, or our cattle and other livestock will be viewed as two day old bread. But that is a long way off in the USA, I hope. I assume it is happening in some forms in other countries. In the meanwhile, I will raise livestock with proper conformation and function with an eye to improve as I can. [/QUOTE]
