[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1662193, member: 20580"] We used up the last of both our Cuda and Small Town Kid semen last summer so haven't tried to acquire more of Cuda but I would assume there is plenty available on Cuda if you contact Select Sires directly to inquire. We may use him again later but moving to different bloodlines next as we kept 3 replacement heifers by him and likely could get more heifers in this years calf crop too. We are done using Small Town Kid now after he came up a carrier of MD. Loved the calves we got out of him, kept 1 heifer that is due to calve this month to our Coventry bull and if she turns out to be a good cow will have her DNA tested later this year to see if she is a MD carrier so we can properly manage and test her calves if she is. Won't have anything out of STK this year, we had just 1 straw left and the cow we used him on didn't stick to the service but should have a handful of Cuda calves if the vet is right on his dates when we preg checked. We've been pretty fortunate not to have been bitten hard by the MSUD and MD defects so far. We did a lot of DNA testing after the MSUD defect came out a couple years ago as we used On Target 936 and a kept a son of his as a herd sire that both came up as carriers and of all the females we still had by either only 1 came up a carrier so that was a relief as some guys were seeing 50% or more of their progeny out of the 936 lines test as carriers too.
