Hoof trimming can be done on an "as needed" basis. Angus cattle aren't intended to live a long life. They're a beef breed. Hoof problems take a while to...
Hi Denise, I guess I'll have a stab at this, more fool me. I think we are looking at two different things. Keep in mind that pretty well all crossing of minor...
I am just training one that has a serious overgrown hoof. Wish she didn't as she is my favorite otherwise I would cull her. She will let down her milk for me...
I think what you're saying is that the number of generations doesn't count with PHA as it's a recessive gene and therefore difficult to selectively breed out....
Hi Denise, that's half the story. I think you were questioning the conflict between 'purity' in X generations and a gene hanging in there for a lot longer....
Okay, gotcha :-) In a message dated 10/24/2009 8:58:27 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, no_reply@yahoogroups.com writes: When you get a glitch in one of the common...
you know, I should probably leave well enough alone, but over the last day, since writing the two posts in answer to Denise, I've been thinking...for all those...
Carol, You're entitled to your opinion, but you must admit you're pretty biased about the purity issue. You have been linked to the import of at least one of...
... Operative word here is "believes" Lets review some scientific beliefs at one time held as indisputable. The earth is flat You can sail to the edge of the...
Hey guys do you mind renaming this thread; Purity; sameoldsameold arguements; let's beat it to death ONCE AGAIN .... or anything other than PHA so that those...
Well GH Martha and GH Daisy are going to have a new home. They won't even have to put up with the lousy Iowa winters..lol. So thanks for the input on them and...

... Does the PFD mean "PHA Free Dexter"? And "PHA Carrier Dexter"? How happy are you with the testing at Igenity? I didn't have cattle for sale, my bull is...
I have been very unhappy. Today I got notified some of the previous animals listed as PHAF now need retested. Some previously listed as PHAF* are in fact PHA...
Hi Dan, Just a question, if my results came back PHAF with no * after the F are those results still OK????? Or is it only the ones with an * that have a...
Hi Gene, yes the PCD and PFD are C(arrier) Dexter and F(ree) Dexter. It's also added to the legend at the bottom as a separate PHA code, so I take this to...
I have been in constant contact with Igenity regarding my results. Igenity has been claiming I am making false statements, and it is because people are...
Hi guys, my two test results came back on the official Igenity report as PHAF (no asterisk). Reading Dan's comments, I called the Canadian office, and asked...
Hi Carol, That is great, they have been testing for both from the start, the problem is they issued reports that stated PHAF and PHAF* and they were no Dexter ...
I experienced basically the same thing. After seeing some of the discussion, I called Igenity about my results (only tested 2 with them). They also...
This is a commercial lab. From the lab's perspective, their job is to run tests and get accurate results. It is our job to make sure the tests are relevant....
