I just read an article concerning gene modification where Holstein horned bloodlines were modified in only one respect, to change the horn gene to polled. This was done by a commercial lab as I understand so the technology is available. I raise polled Herefords and have no desire to deal with horns and horns are not popular in this area. I also realize there are very strong feelings about polled Herefords by some individuals. However I do like some horned Herefords. My questions are how would the AHA feel about this gene modification? Also how would individuals on this forum feel about purchasing a bull with horned genetics but no horns on the bull or his offspring? Thanks farmguy
