I talked to Montie at Natl Cattlemans Convention and he said he couldn't get Beever to send him a list of the bulls he had tested. I don't know if you have to sign a release saying it's ok to publish it or not?

I have forwarded my results to ASA and posted it on the Steerplanet DS thread. What they were planning to do is attach the results to pedigree search just as TH, Pha and DNA are. Yes, owners probably have to forward DS results. I would be all for starting a list here on Steerplanet? Thanks for sharing Dale... wildside looked really good in the video, it's great to see the longevity.
Improver appears several times in that pedigree, the gift that just keeps on giving.
I haven't been able to figure out how common this deformity is and how much the industry as a whole cares, or even knows about it for that matter. I just don't hear many breeders talking about it. Personally, I don't want any part of it. I shipped a pretty good bull that sired deformed calves for a friend of mine that used him. I had a real good bull purchased this winter, but had to put a stop to the deal when his DS test came back positive. I haven't had a DS calf, knock on wood, but maybe I've been lucky since I have very little Improver in my cow herd. Myabe I should just shut my eyes and not worry about it if the deformity just doesn't happen that much.

Karma has a funny way of biting you in the ass. The Shorthorn cattle gods are still disgruntled for letting undocumented Irish cattle in the Shorthorn herd book- asterisk free at that!
There's always consequences for cheating.
Maybe you're right! Maybe all the defects showing up in the Angus breed are the result of the widespread infusion of Holstein, Maine, Limousin, Chi, and anything else that was long and tall and "passed" blood type tests in the 70's. Can you say "Sport?" I wonder if all the Bootmaker influence has improved their milking ability? I know it sure added some white spots on the underline and a few horns.

If you'd like to see what JJC Wild Side looked like when he was turned out with the cows last fall, look him up on youtube. Mark T., thanks to you and others who enjoyed the video Clint made of Wild Side. In the video you also get to see several Homeplace cows and calves.

i could be wrong but i think JIT has dublin yet. if so, he should have him tested.

I thought I read a post that said a DSC bred to a pha carrier tends to throw a severly defect calf is that true? If it is......maybe thats why the JPJ's....bred to clubbie pha carriers tended to get everyones attention. A regular DSC carrier x a DSC carrier equals a less deformed deal? Is the pha deal x ds equals a DS deformity true?
