[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1823466, member: 43196"] I wouldn't call it irresponsible. It's more of a calculated risk at that point. Irresponsible would be more along the lines of not testing them and knowing that there is a 50/50 chance of them being a carrier. Keeping a heifer that tests positive and being diligent to be certain she is never bred with an unknown or positive sire and making sure the progeny are only market animals, or are also tested, is a viable course of action. Kinda depends on how cautious and diligent you want to be. Different producers have different goals, different needs, and different tolerances. [/QUOTE]
