Just wondering what the lineage or family tree of the Strictly Business and Dirty Hairy Bulls are? I think I heard Dirty Hairy is out of Strictly Business but wasn't sure. Are there any other bulls out of those being used for semen production? Like Ali Solution or Ali? Reason I'm asking if we've had 4 crippled calves that could be out of that line. They are usually crippled in the spine close to the hips which makes it hard for the calves to use one or both of back legs. Anyone heard of a congenital condition we should be testing for besides TH & PHa? We test the cows and heifers for these two. Also has anyone heard of the plant Old Maids Bonnet or Indian Beet causing this condition if ingested by cow during gestation? We are trying to find answers. Next step is probably salvaging a calf for testing of all sorts. It wont be able to walk anyways. Thanks for any info, not trying to bash those bulls reps by any means.
