[QUOTE="regolith, post: 912763, member: 9267"] I've never had an answer from the lic/ambreed reps about Manhatten... whether I use him next year, I think it's a risk I'm prepared to take; I've still got 7 yr old daughters in the herd and some of their daughters. Both companies say they're confident the abnormalities won't show up in the next generation, I'd like to know how they know that if they don't even know what the abnormality is?? Possibly one good thing about genomics is that it might spread out the breeding a little - sires that haven't even got their daughter proof yet are being used as sires of sons, so maybe we'll get away from the Manhatten/Maunga/Nevvy bias that's happening right now (I don't use Nevvy sons either, the two daughters I've had were extremely nervous).
