[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1506238, member: 32644"] The bull I referenced was sired by Connealy Deep Canyon out of a S A F Strategy 9015 daughter. It was a 'not-so-desirable' of a pedigree with Famous, Focus and Fame close up. The bull never left anything in my herd because I used him alone on a group of cows. I initially wanted to be able to identify his calves and save daughters. A high percentage of his calf crop was defective. They were born alive but looked like dwarfs and couldn't stand. The bull was the only common denominator once all other possibilities were explored. He went to town. My veterinarian did draw several tubes of blood for testing but nothing has ever been found. I thought this last defect, Sodium Channel Neuropathy, would be the answer and I sent the last blood tube to Dr. Beever. The bull was negative for the defect. Several takeaways from the deal: Sometimes there is no answer-no matter how hard you search or how many questions you ask. I learned to not chase high EPD's. I learned I can raise better cattle than I can buy. I still re-learn that one from time to time. [/QUOTE]
