Think PHA only comes from Clubby Shorts Famous Closed Herd 50 yr Pedigree

[RyanChandler]

The selective designation, despite time and time again of notice, gives insight as to what the current ASA management is all about.

or the inability of the database programmers to come up with code that correctly each field consistently or create fields consistently and fill them consistently etc etcasdf

No incentive.  They 'apparently' get paid regardless of the level of service provided.

I had it with Weston Surprise born about 1970. I called the ASA and they dropped the PHA TH designation on him but left the orange on the offspring.

It looks like he was tested in 2015-Wonder what instigated the test? O0

 

[r.n.reed]

Dennis hoffrogge had 3 calves in 2015 probably cheaper to do the bull than all 3 calves.

 

[mark tenenbaum]

If I had calves out of him and kept them for breeding Id sure test them O0

 

[r.n.reed]

why?

 

[mark tenenbaum]

why?

Because hes PHA- O0

 

[r.n.reed]

where do you see that pha status I cant find it

 

[mbigelow]

R.n.reed are you talking about weston suprise or the ar Cherokee bull when you say you can't find the pha?

 

[r.n.reed]

surprise

 

[mark tenenbaum]

Sorry-thought you meant the RA bull -Has anyone tested the progeny of Weston Surprise? The semen is probably too valuable to test a straw O0

 

[aj]

So what was the verdict? A mistake on pedigree system? Or not.

 

[mark tenenbaum]

It shows him tested in 2015-So it would depend upon the method-If someone busted a straw of semen-Hes PHA O0

 

[aj]

Hmmm. Wonder which company tested? Wondered if there is a data base there. I know some weird things can happen. We had a bull that tested weird for th and they decided he was clean. But he threw a th inflicted calf. It turned that since the bull we tested was a TWIN......that somehow booger the test up.

If you search the database long enough you'll find numerous examples that defy logic.

If you took the following example at face value, not only would you have to believe the 885 cow survived a lethal defect but you'd also have to believe she dead ended the trait by producing a PHA free calf.

Good catch

 

[mark tenenbaum]

Good catch/// What was the TEST DATE?

O0 O0

 

[Medium Rare]

What was the TEST DATE? O0 O0

7/1/2015

The same date countless other tests show, despite the cow being dead and gone by then.

Now thats something I for one didnt know-Wonder who decided to create that glitch? O0
