Shorthorn Country published this same article in 2013. Is anyone testing for this gene? This looks like a window that is wide open to effectively compete with black cattle in the feedlot. Salmonella resistant red calves make more money than dead black calves every time. Maybe Red Angus is ahead of this, but all it takes is for the perception to change that red cattle make healthier beef and red will surge. Selecting for resistant bulls is a marketing tool for selling to commercial customers. Maybe ASA could help get this volume discount on the tests.
AND all natural fast food is here, so that's as mainstream as it gets. Consumers are going to select against the perception of Salmonella infected lymph nodes ground into black cattle burgers.
