While I personally don't approve of the knowing use of cattle with these genetics, I appreciate the fact that these breeders are clearly labeling their product. It really irritates me when I see sale catalogs with cattle I know have PHA or TH carriers in their pedigree, yet they not tested and basically sold on a buyer beware program. Unfortuanately, there are a few of those, too.

Makes sense and I can see where that could get irritateing trying to keep your herd clean.
