Why no DNA testing?

[QUOTE="CPL, post: 519465, member: 6346"] Alan, I sometimes wonder the same thing. On some of these sales, when they have the vet come in and preg check to call it safe to AI or clean up bull, sometimes the vet marks it as "too close to call". I wonder how many of the buyers of these type of bred cows actually DNA test the calf when its born. I could see most of them registering it in the name of the AI sire to bring a bigger check. Also how many bulls have had to get their pedigrees changed recently? Two big ones that come to mind are Reload and Harland. They were only changed after the DNA testing for them to get their AI permit. I also wonder about bulls that are just sold as normal sires and never recieve a DNA test. Sure is something to think about. [/QUOTE]
