[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 561183, member: 13"] I'll try to sort this out? Are you asking me why certain bloodlines would be more likely to bloat? I don't have a clue. But every trait is heritable. Genetically you are made up of what your mom and dad passed on to you. The number one risk factor in cancer is if anyone in your family had it. That doesn't mean we (or our bulls) are slaves to our genetic make up. But if your family has a history lung cancer, you probably shouldn't smoke. :) By knowing which bloodlines were subject to bloat, I would assume the guys working at the test station could keep a closer eye on those bulls and the owners could adjust their breeding program to stop reproducing those cattle.
