[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1400548, member: 16453"] I would carry on as you are, being NHC doesn't stop them from being good cows. What is your goal? Are you aiming to sell registered bulls? If these cows that are carriers are taking the place of non carriers in your herd then I would thin them out a bit. The carriers are no problem in a commercial herd, most bulls sold from reputable breeders now are NH free so risk in a commercial herd is negligible. Half of my herd is based from a very good cow that I bought knowing she was AMC, her 1st calf a heifer was free, her 2nd calf a heifer was AMC which I kept for a couple of calves the 1st was a heifer that was free, these have gone on now to produce a string of heifers. I still have the original cow but she will be going in a couple of weeks, her last 4 calves have been free and I don't like the chance of her having another one that tests free besides I have more than enough of her derivatives in the herd. Be patient between her and her heifers you will get plenty of clean replacements. Ken [/QUOTE]
