Cattle warts are very common and very contagious. Unfortunately there are hundreds of strains of virals that cause the cattle warts so unless you have your...
My old vet used to cut off a few, and expected the rest to go away...something to do nudging the immune system. I found that it doesn't much matter what you...
If anybody going to the Houston Show has an extra grounds pass that you would be willing to donate to a child who is showing but has no pass for his Dad and...
This was forwarded to me from another Dexter discussion group. I was under the impression that it was absolutely NOT acceptable to NAME or discuss negatives...
Okay..I'm confused and need some help from someone..anyone..lol. Woodmagic Wheatear is pos PHA..I get that. Priapus is a carrier..get that. Does this mean that...
Hi Sherry, We can't be definitely sure that Woodmagic Wheatear was a PHA-carrier because we don't have any of her genetic material to actually test. Based on...
Thank you very much Patti. Other than those 3 animals that have been mentioned here..are there no other lines or are they yet to be discovered? PHA is like...
Sherry, At the present time, the only way to know if you have a PHA-carrier is if that animal has a PHA-affected calf (confirmed by PHA test of tissue sample)...
Hi Judy, It seems to me The Source has been indentified: Wheatear. Being that it is genetic and the chance of inheriting the PHA gene is 50/50 with each...
Judy is up-to-speed on the current status of everything to do with pha and the adca, as both patti and i have continually emailed her privately on the topic....
Carol; I went and looked at Wheatears decendants and there is no total, I think the computer gave up on trying, do we have a clue as to how many she does...
One way to check your cattle to see if your are at risk is to go to the ADCA online pedigree. Search for Wheatear. Click on Wheatear when she comes up. On her...
Carol, In the 2006 report by Windsor, Cavanagh and Tammen, they state that all the PHA affected calves were DNA tested to be free of chondrodysplasia, so it's...
yes, but it takes time. I did a complete list, generation by generation, and gave it to the cdca. If anyone has an early descendant, it would save hours and...
Carol it took a very long time for the ADCA decendants of Wheatear to finally load, I thought it had on the times I had looked, it took about 15 minutes to...
... How cool is THAT!! I spent the evening playing on the pedigree site and LOVED the Ctrl F feature!! THANKS! Nina -- Don and Nina Cipriani Rattle Creek Farm ...
... Thanks Gene that saved me a great amount of time. I found only 1 of my 5 to be a decendent & we're having problems getting her to settle after A.I. (Bulls...
Judy, I do know that Wheatear has not been confirmed as a carrier, only her son. If she was a carrier she may have received the mutation from a relative way...
Hi all, some thoughts, no special order. here's the list of two generations of wheatear, if it will save you time. It wasn't three direct offspring, it was a...

Carol, ###>>Judy: I see you've paraphrased and reused much of the info I sent you. Glad it's proved useful. However, there seems to be a bit you missed, so ...
Hey all of you that have had cows in general and Dexter's in particular longer then I have.. I have a question for you. I bought two Dexter cows a few months...
Judy, Just a few quick comments. I don't know why you keep talking about "polled". PHA inheritance has nothing to do with whether an animal is polled or...
gee, judy, take a deep breath. Generalities and hints and oh aren't I clever to know this but you'll have to do your own homework aren't conducive to...
The reality is that PHA is here, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and perhaps globally if Priapus was not the source of the mutation. No...
