[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 404000, member: 2095"] Idiopathic Epilepsy Apparently the calf can develop epileptic fits. It is a simple Mendellian recessive like dwarfism. Only the calves with two recessives show symptoms. Only two bulls (brothers) have been positively identified by the Hereford association as carriers; but the rumour is that this is about to be widened. Their sire HH Advance 6052F is a POSSIBLE carrier and he has 230 daughters in the data. How wide spread this is in Holdens and Coopers herds is very debatable at the moment. They MIGHT have caught this in the bud; but Nick the Butler was an icon in Polled Herefords and it took years and years to identify him as the hypotrichosis progenitor [url=http://hereford.org/AHA/tabID__3855/tailored.aspx]http://hereford.org/AHA/tabID__3855/tailored.aspx[/url] I am not throwing stones; but we have been told that more information is coming soon. I would want THAT information if I were buying a bull right now. [/QUOTE]
