Ya know it's funny - I was basically asked the same question and I though why does it matter? We have information on an abnormality described in Shorthorn calves sired by a certain Shorthorn bull or his sons - so clearly this is a Shorthorn issue - could it be an issue in another breed - sure - but why does that matter?? It is clearly a Shorthorn issue - a potential genetic issue in Shorthorn cattle.
To clarify another issue -[size=10pt]DR BEEVER WANTS SAMPLES AND HE WANTS THEM ASAP -
[size=10pt]whoever said "Beever doesn't want samples yet" IS FLAT OUT WRONG
and as an aside calling me a *itch doesn't make you right ;D
ps modify - seems I can't spell

Instead of beating each other up all the time, how about overcoming our pride or stubborness or whatever it is and get SOMETHING DONE. If a guy tells me for over an hour all he knows about this and I believe him, I drank the kool aid? I repect what you say DL but that comment stunk. The one thing I know is somebody is lieing. Period. I dont know who but somebody is full of crap.I will find out soon enough. Just like the rest of us. Instead of using steerplanet to throw shots around. Lets get on the phone and talk. Work it out and show the other breeds that we are legit. Right now, legit is the last word used to describe this deal. I can assure you Pat got a earful from me and he never wavered from what he said. Isnt it his job to be in charge of this investigation? It sure isnt mine. It sure isnt yours DL. Thats what we pay him to do. Let him do his job. Call him. Ask him like I did and form your own opinion. We all loose if the number one bull in the breed gets wacked form a defect. Thats a fact. DL has made many good points. Nobody is arguing this. Lets try and look at the big picture and work toward that. Witch hunts and public berating gets all of us nowhere. Even if the ball has been dropped badly already, it doesnt mean we cant still fix what needs fixed. Remember the Jim Valvano speech? "Never give up. Don't ever give up." Thats how I roll.

That doesn't mean I need to glue feathers to my bottom and put my head in the sand but it does mean I am intelligent enough to question what I read and confirm things without foolishly following an unknown person. TGCC was perhaps your biggest defender and has always been someone who speaks what he thinks. Is it wrong that there are more opinions than your own?
trevorgreycattleco said:Fair enough. Thats the beauty of the good ol USA. We can all form our own opinions. I agree we need to be informed asap but if the facts havent been proven with out a doubt, we dont need to argue. We need to work together. I stand up for the breed before anybody. Period.
DL, I dont know what to tell you. He called me. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
