[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 754204, member: 5362"] As you can see from the response, most don't seem to have a whole lot of luck with field reps. I almost had a encounter with one once. I'd called the AHA to see if they would change the papers on a heifer I had from polled to horned, kind of in a hurry as I wanted them corrected so I could list her for sale even though see was horned, I thought she was a decent heifer, I thought maybe I could sell her and make a little extra, even though you normally couldn't give them away round these parts at that time. So, after giving the lady the reg. number of the heifer, she said she didn't believe from the breeding that this heifer was horned, and that she had to be scurred. She asked me why I thought she was horned, after I'd given my explanation, she said I should talk to someone in the breed improvement office, and she put me through. After going through the whole scenario again, he also didn't believe that she was horned, and hold off on the papers, because he had a field rep coming out my way next week, and he would like for him to see this heifer. Ok, I said, I'll wait. Well about 10 days went by, and no field rep, so I called the AHA. They said he would be out here a week of Friday. Friday came around, and no rep, he had left a message saying his car had broke down, so he was running late so he would catch me on the next trip in a couple of weeks or so, thats been years ago, haven't seen him yet. In the mean time I'd had her parentage verified and also wanted her checked for the horn/polled gene, but they refused to do that test. I finally gave up and took her to the local sale barn. This is her at around 15 months old I believe. [img]http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/pmno2000/IMG_152211111.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
