[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 737672, member: 8677"] I hope that doesn't surprise you. As a matter of fact, until these dna tests came around, the same people wouldn't even admit there were any genetic defects. Then when the news would break, they would say 'well they all carry it anyhow'. This garbage is done all the time. I got sick of it 20 years ago, that is one of the reasons I sought out linebred cattle, so that some genetic proving had been done on them. There is also no way dna tests have been identified for all of the genetic abnormalities that are out there. Lerching from one genetic defect to another and having to cull or outcross otherwise high quality cattle that have been found to probably carry defects is expensive and irresponsible. [/QUOTE]
