I disagree. Those cattle should be culled, same as on any operation.
Why would a purebred producer who was selling registered offspring to others,
knowingly keep something that could very well be a genetic fault?
The ones I know would NOT do this.
And it can be genetic. Don't ask me how I know.
While I'm on the subject, when you are sorting off your replacement heifers as calves, watch their attitude. You can tell then how they are going to be as momma cows. Not 100% but enough to pass on some you would like to keep. Culling can start early.
