Who's Your Daddy?

[jspring]

"Who's your daddy?" is the question I've asked a couple of our newborn calves. Running two purebred shorthorn bulls in the same pasture.  What is the process for paternity testing calves?  Thanks!

We have DNA pulled on all our herd bulls I think its cmaa standard now. That way I can run multiple sire groups as cleanup for a shortened calving season. In the fall we will pull hair on any calves we retain that maybe in question and send away to paternity test.
