[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1400631, member: 9096"] There ought to be a 50% statistical chance that the calf from your cow is a carrier if bred to a non carrier bull.. It sounds like you're just unlucky. If bred to a carrier bull, it would be a 25% non carrier, 50% carrier, and 25% affected A carrier animal can produce non carrier offspring, so if the cow is great otherwise, why not try and get some good animals from her.. As long as you're DNA testing and honest about it all, I don't see a problem with it. I wouldn't sell any bulls that tested carrier positive though, and in the long run I'd definitely be selecting against the trait [/QUOTE]
