[QUOTE="clifflem, post: 150166, member: 89"] Doc, The calves that are homozygous for the TH gene die at birth. Only the carriers (Heterozygous) ones survive. They are normal in appearance and you can't tell from looking at them if they are carriers or not. The only ways you can tell if they are carriers is to breed them to known carriers or to DNA test them. I promise if you ever had one of the calves with TH, you wouldn't ever want another one.
