    There is but given the fact that 90% of bulls are genomic along with the fact temperment accounts for 1-2% of a bulls ebi score their no real emphasis put on it which is ridicalous in my opinion

    Ahhahahaha good luck. Try doing a crossword while on hold.
    Is it the 045 number in Newhall you're ringing?

    I had to email them to get a response. Now we just send them with our local vet who we just drop the samples into and he deals with the rest.

    No its 0761064590 . They sent out a letter saying that the mother of a BVD positive calf is suspected of being positive and that we need to test her . She tested negative 6 months ago so I dont know why they think she is positive now .
    They will be waiting awhile for me to ring them again unless they call back . Twots

    False negative:confused:
    Perhapy they're going through a database of positive calves that had Neg dams and re-testing them?

    In other words I've no idea! Let them get back to you, you've tried your best.

    Good Lord.

    Xbreeds .......it can go right or horribly wrong?

    Sheebadog, you were looking at BS cows, you probably saw how quiet they were. Pure breed BS are probably the quietest breed in the world. Well their crosses are lunatics aswell. They don't kick to kick you, they kick to kill you
