[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 611735, member: 4353"] The closebreeding exposed a genetic defect, by taking him out of the breeding population the closebreeding succeeded in its goal to eliminate genetic defects out of the genepool. I suppose he could have been used as a terminal sire, but not everyone who would have bought the semen would have known of the genetic defect (through their own ignorance) and the AI company did the responsible thing for the greater good of the genepool by eliminating him. Another consideration is that breeding replacements is a high priority in a dairy herd and with the short productive life expectancy in a dairy herd very few "terminal" breedings can be afforded.
