[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 738426, member: 13669"] I sold some older bred cows that still had some calves in them at a bred cow special, they just didn't fit my seedstock operation any longer. My concern was letting the buyers know ahead of time that I wasn't just selling the defect carriers out of a registered herd, that these are all clean pedigrees. I printed a potential AM NH carrier list with matching tatoo/tag showing they were clean pedegrees, signed and sent it with the cows. I would guess half the buyers either had never heard of arthrogryposis multiplex or were just not concerned about it. By the time they got sorted for age, preg. dates, legible bangs tatoos, they got scattered from he!! to breakfast. I see the potential for years of AM NH affected genetics working their way thru the comercial cow herds. Without some true, tough leadership from from the AAA directors, and ethical actions by Angus seedstock producers this will be a drag on the angus breed for decades. Continuing to release carrier bulls into the population, no matter what the excuse, will only exacerbate the situation. At one time Horned Herefords had the U.S. beef herd by the balls. Could history repeat itself? @ [/QUOTE]
