[QUOTE="Rosielou, post: 1103184, member: 17488"] Hm, this is interesting. So it comes from the diluter gene, which charolais and sims carry? I'm curious as to why it causes the defects. If I continue to breed this cow to a black angus bull, will she always throw rattail calves or sometimes not? Or 50/50? Would it be wise to keep heifers out of her if they are rattail? I have no problem really keeping them, but is it profitable since they will be docked at the sale? I've seen them before but I've never had any real experience with them, and we've never had one born into our herd. I guess we had gotten lucky. Thanks for the replies! [/QUOTE]
