the above is probably the least professional comment on this post.
both sides are actually trying to help each other.
this is not a personal issue. it is a genetic defect. we can make a test hopefully and we can use it to lower costs to develope animals from lines with a defect compared to sire daughter matings and the turnaround time is a lot shorter and everyone can use the test.
i see no reason not to use carriers.

Bold Statement, maybe he was 80 lbs. Ask Brad. I think Sunseeker was out of a first calf heifer sired by heatseeker.

This is not a board for providing information and personal experiences with bulls, unless you are the chosen ones or unless your experience meets the chosen criterion - neither the chosen ones nor the chosen criteria have been publicly identified, hence poor SWMO got caught in the error of her ways by simply stating that she had a calf with spastic paresis sired by Money Man - her bad, surely
It is OK for red to post about a genetic defect in her calf sired by telos bull - she and the bull fit the chosen criteria, and it is OK for chambero to list the sires of his spastic calves – he too is chosen – no one called them libelous, accused them of being unprofessional, said those were innuendos and as far as I know no one sent them nasty emails – they and others have been chosen - but for the un-chosen it is not OK for anyone (apparently) to say they have in their pasture a calf with spastic paresis sired by Money Man - not only is stating the fact not OK it then becomes a feeding frenzy of personal attacks
It is apparently also not OK to suggest that someone supply samples to Dr Beever on a spastic calf sired by Money Man, it should have (apparently) been sent as a PM - thus no one else would have any idea that he was looking for the mutation or how to submit samples - so my bad for suggesting that SWMO send samples to Dr B (yeah this is deja vu for PHA where the ostriches ruled the world)
THERE IS NO INNUENDO WHEN SWMO OR I SAY SHE HAD A CALF SIRED BY MM WHO HAD SPASTIC PARESIS - it is a fact – it is not unprofessional, filled with innuendo, libel or anything else – it does not imply anything about either the sire or the dam - IT IS SIMPLY THE EXPERIENCE OF INDIVIDUALS - but on this board we cannot take it for what it is -
It is NO different that saying someone had a 140 pound calf sired by Mondo or a 20 pound calf sired by Midgie or a calf with contracted tendons sired by Buckleover - or a calf with 2 head sired by Double or a calf with hydrocephalus sired by 1680 or an albino calf sired by Mt Blanc or a blind calf sired by Sightless or a calf with monkey mouth sired by Jawbone
It is no different that saying you had a great calf sired by Super boy and it is not different that people posting picture of their calves noting the sires – but only the chosen can do that - the un-chosen are chastised and harassed and belittled and interestingly the good things the un-chosen say about the same of other bulls are ignored.
So when I go out to look at another calf that is sired by the same bull to determine if he has spastic paresis I won’t post the results here – in part because it is not my calf, but more to the point if I post good news nobody pays any attention and if I post bad news well the sky is falling and the lunatic eggs are out in full force on the fringe
I would like to thank everyone who emailed or PM’d me about pedigrees and agreed to supply samples – you all made my day -
