[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1762275, member: 16453"] Managing recessive defects is no big deal in this day and age. It is best to be aware of it but not alarmed. As long as you know the status of the sire and dam you obviously don't use a carrier sire and the females gradually get moved to the commercial or cull herd. Doesn't mean you can't keep a heifer from a carrier cow if it tests as a non carrier. This is where Angus are very good, the genetic status of bulls and cows is there for all to see. Ken [/QUOTE]
