[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 694261, member: 1682"] Rule of thumb is all Butler cattle and ancestors are carriers (ie. 452M, Nick, Domino 15G, Beartooth Performer). Is recessive gene , so has to be through both sides of the pedigree to be exhibited. Simple solution, don't breed Butler cattle to Butler cattle...some people avoid them entirely. As far as I know, I never knew Enforcer to be a carrier...although he was never a bull in my line of sight for breeding. In my opinion, the Butler-sired cowherds were and still are some the best Polled Hereford cowherds you can get in North America. Rugged, sound, functional cows that proved themselves over and over in many purebred and commercial herds. Have seen many Nick the Butler cows roaming the pastures over the years...awesome cows. Their only flaw is hypotrichosis, which can be avoided. Don't get rid of good cows, just buy a good outcross bull. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
