[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 737842, member: 3972"] The only notations on the registration papers (and online pedigrees) are for "officially" tested animals. IEC for animals that tested as carriers of IE and IEF for animals that tested as free from IE. If an animal doesn't trace back to HH Advance P242 in their pedigree(and their pedigree is correct), then there's really no reason to test them. Some breeders have, just to put their minds and the minds of their customers at ease. The Line 1 breeders have been and are very much on top of this. As far as I know, there's not a one of them that hasn't tested their herd and know right where they stand. And most have completely eliminated the carriers from their own herd. It's in the fringes where this problem continues. Breeders whose herds aren't straight Line 1, but have some cattle with Line 1 influence in their back ground. I see a few cattle in a number of sales where there is potential for an IE problem in some cattle selling but there's nothing in the catalog that states whether those animals have been tested. But I wasn't at the sale to see if there was an announcement made there. I have watched a few sales online where there wasn't any announcement made. That bothers me, as I'm sure it concerns the Line 1 breeders, because THEY have generally done everything they can to get a firm handle on the IE problem. George [/QUOTE]
