[QUOTE="1848, post: 74578, member: 1303"] Jcarkie, Off the subject a little, but if you are selling these bulls as breed bulls? They can pass the same trait! I want to see the moma of a bull I intend to use. If she is all blown out, then I don't want him either. As far as the subjest on the post, I would have to go with the mastitis in the front two quarters. If she is seedstock I would ship her. If she can raise a calf and you need her, then let her raise the calf, but you will pobably end up with more problems later (weak calves, loose another qtr, etc.), and like Jcarkie did say, you probably don't want her heifers (eat the bulls), unless you feel there was a valid reason for the mastitis (probably not), or if you want to take a chance that a sire who is known for udder quality will elimate that in his offspring. Just remember, that bad udder gene will still be there lurking anyway, and just when you get that really nice replacement or show heifer, it will show it's ugly head again... ;-) ! [/QUOTE]
