[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 737922, member: 97"] OK- lets throw one more curve into the situation... The Australian Angus Association has identified and named Bon View Bando 598 ( a popular bull in many angus pedigrees) and a few others as carriers of Fawn Calf Syndrome....BUT the American Angus Association has not recognized any bulls as carriers yet-altho indications are it could effect up to 2-3 % of the AI sires- as they haven't been able to get a test developed ... I was at a sale the other day where there were bulls being sold sired by a bull that has 598 as mgs (Woodhill Foresight)-- and some bulls that had 598 on both sides of the pedigree within 2-3 generations.... What do these breeders do? Should they inform buyers before the sale? What do they do if a month from now- the test is developed and AAA then finally recognizes 598 as a carrier? And how much will not having a test effect upcoming sales this spring ? I know I'm not going to gamble by buying or using AI anything with the identified carriers in their pedigree... Just curious- as after the sale we were having quite a discussion- and just like most cattle genetics issues- there definitely was no consensus.... [/QUOTE]
