[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1755352, member: 42463"] "There certainly haven't been train wrecks." Why do you think there is now, "a big breed society that monitors and knows how to react to any recessive problems before they affect the commercial cattle industry."? This from a simple google search: The widespread use of the superior carcass-trait bull Precision 1680, an AM carrier (AMC), increased the probability of this bull showing up on both sides of many Angus pedigrees, and this uncovered the presence of the [B]recessive lethal mutation that results in "curly calf" syndrome[/B]. And the more we use artificial insemination with a pyramid tip of top bulls siring the majority of commercial bulls we are destroying genetic diversity. Not that we couldn't argue it the other way too. I have no problem using black Angus bulls for a terminal program... but I prefer to stay away from BA for replacement stock. [/QUOTE]
