[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1400624, member: 20580"] Thanks, that was just the first thing that came to mind as soon as I read this scenario. To me not reproducing more carriers of genetic defects is way more important than what kind of cow or bull that animal is regardless what kind of program you are running. Those defects are going to reek havoc eventually if you don't cull them once they are identified you'll have to deal with them at some point in your own herd. Plus the last thing a seedstock guy wants is an angry customer you sold a bull or female to that had one of these undesirable defects pop up plus something like that can also do more damage to your reputation as a seller than the damage it may do by culling the problem in the first place. It's a heck of a lot easier just to bite the bullet and rid yourself of the defect when it is found than to attempt to "manage" it, even if that sets you back a little then you still are going to benefit more long term by doing the right thing.
