[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1398126, member: 15537"] Why wouldn't AHA be involved? It said in the article linked above: "Hornlessness is produced by insertion of genes from other cattle breeds that are naturally hornless." So what are the "other cattle breeds that are naturally hornless" - Angus?? So in effect, wouldn't you be introducing these "naturally hornless" genetics into the AHA? How do you record that in the Hereford herd book? There are DNA tested homo-polled Herefords out there. I am not saying they are the perfect cattle, but if you put homo-polled cows and homo-polled bulls together you will get homo-polled offspring. [/QUOTE]
