I just got on this post....and feel pretty silly, but since we're just back into the cattle business and have several nice Paddy heifers bred for next fall already, can you tell me how you do the 'test' you're talking about?  Can you do it yourself?  I don't quite understand all this carrier stuff...need to learn I know, and plan to do so.  But if someone will explain to me I'd sure appreciate it.
We've AI'd these heifers to the following....will we have problems?

Would sure like to know now than later...hope I haven't goofed up on these girls, they are all real nice heifers.  (The dams are mostly angus with a little Maine and some Chi)
You should be ok with these 3 bulls as there are all PHAF and THF. But the test is you take blood and then Dr. Beevers lab in Illinois are the only ones that run the test for carriers of either mutation.
