[QUOTE="Dubcharo, post: 1517195, member: 19407"] [url=https://secure.goozmo.com/user_files/13942.pdf]https://secure.goozmo.com/user_files/13942.pdf[/url] "An important fact is that any bull that has one scur gene but is not scurred must be homozygous polled. Further, any bull produced by a scurred cow must have the scur gene as does any bull that sires a scurred heifer" Some interesting points in that text, and yes it's not all clear how scurs works. If you don't want any scurs on the head of your beef animals: "10. Breeding homozygous polled bulls to homozygous polled females should produce all homozygous polled calves and no scurs." [/QUOTE]
