[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1709341, member: 39695"] I don't think I would recommend seed stock for the exact reasons you mentioned. I was listening to an interview with someone in the high up at the world dairy expo. He said they are using sexed embryos and the premium they are getting for pb Angus strs over pb or half blood Holsteins strs more than paid for the embryo. So in theory if the ET calves are all going to be fed out and dead by 24mos Johnes is less of a concern. [/QUOTE]
