All sires are free of defects.....but not the dams?

DRB · Nov 25, 2019

Hi AJ,
I haven't tested all dams for Myostatin yet, but given ~3 generations of bulls in pedigree are free of all defects, very high likelihood that they are all clean too. I have to go through the pedigrees of all my dams and figure out which still need to be tested. All dams are TH free (took care of that a long time ago). Anyway, I'm providing the information I have (better than nothing). In all the testing I've done, I've never actually had a positive carrier. Example: click on pedigree tab, Sire & MGSire free... with some testing THF/PHAF on dam.

Thanks Mark! I really should be keeping some of these girls, but we wanted to offer all of our best. Our bottom cut heifers go into grass-fed beef for decent money so that makes things easy.
