[QUOTE="RVF, post: 518386, member: 7960"] In Canada, DNA testing is $50.00. Hereford Association requires that there be a minimum of 17days between when 1 bull is removed and the next is put in, but it requires the producer follows the rules (I know some who don't). Any questionable animals must be DNA tested (I have one now I am waiting on - bull got out of his pasture into the next), but again it depends on the producer to identify that the animal needs testing. Also there is random parentage testing in place. All AI bulls must be parentage tested and all natural service bulls must be DNA tested (I do not think they are parentage tested - ie. not checked to see if he could have come from the sire indicated).
