[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1190011, member: 9933"] Just one comment on your second list. New Day 454 is a good bull, but he is a confirmed carrier of Developmental Duplication (DD). That is a defect that can cause various deformities, such as extra limbs. The risks are low and it would require at minimum the cow to also be a carrier. It is now suspected that to display the defect the animal needs to receive the gene from both parents, and also carry a modifier gene. Even though risk of an actual defect are low, it would reduce the marketability of any offspring as breeding animals. [/QUOTE]
