[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1412746, member: 27490"] That stinks! One never knows and rarely does anyone have the time to investigate. I have had several instances where I wanted to resolve issues with the ASA, I have been very impressed with those folks. They have great professional staff relating to registry, genetics, DNA testing, etc. I think some things happen out of their control. Just as an example, the Simmental Bull Broadway. He had a respectable CE of 11 and a BW of about 1. Most recent listing shows CE of negative 1 and BW of plus 4. The rumor mill has it that he was "sabotaged". As I understand the hearsay, producers damage a bull's desirability by inflating the birthweights they report and reporting that calves had to be pulled. My one Broadway was 72 pounds which is below my average birth weight of 87 pounds. I have two cows bred to Broadway for fall. [/QUOTE]
