[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 170453, member: 968"] I assume they are referring to the TH defect. Here is what I just received from Amer Simm Assn.: * Follow is the ASA Policy for monitoring TH genetic defect: 1. ASA will test the top 50 sires based on the number of progeny reported in the previous calendar year and thereafter any new sire entering the top 50 sires list. 2. Progeny out of a registered suspect animal can not be registered until the suspect animal (parent) is tested. 3. A suspect animal is an animal who is a) out of a TH carrier and has not been test free or b) who has not been tested and has 1/8 or more Shorthorn, Maine Anjou or Chianina blood. 4. ASA's procedure for TH testing includes parentage verification. So I have to believe that the MA & Chi's also are carriers, not just the Shorthorns & Clubby bulls. [/QUOTE]
