[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 843382, member: 807"] Hillsdown, cant explain it, but that is the way it was done at the time. I know my Dad bought a receipt cow with a embryo out of 11D and Uranus...It made a heck of a bull, it also had Johne"s..We were somewhat lucky in that the bull was only around a small portion of our cattle and land. Both the cow and bull had it. We were going to use the cow as a nurse cow, she wouldnt get back in shape to breed so we took her to the vet. We had a young vet fresh out of Penn State, not our usual Texas A&M vets...he suggested we test her for Johnes. She was positive, so was the bull. We took em to the sale ring, told the auctioneer that they needed to got to slaughter because of the Johnes. The cow did, but danged if someone didnt buy that bull and put him in their herd. They contacted me to see if they could buy his papers, they used that bull for 2 more years... Of course this fella is no longer in the cattle biz...Those early years with Limousin cattle were nuts....not the cattle, but the people wanting to buy them even though many were inferior. [/QUOTE]
