[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1756955, member: 24816"] When the issues of NH, AM, CA, DD, came about in Angus, MSUD, and several other conditions in Herefords, they were reported and it was dealt with by the associations. I’m sure that if underbites were even remotely common that it would be noticed and questioned by producers. I would think that an underbite would result in a poor doing calf or a short lived calf depending on severity of the deformity. Wouldn’t take too many of those calves to get a producers attention. I’ve only seen one ruminant in my lifetime with a noticeable underbite and that was in an old goat. It evidently didn’t affect her much, she was otherwise healthy and in good condition. I’m not saying that birth defects and medical conditions at any point in life are not possible from a variety of sources from genetics to toxins, and pharmaceutical drugs. Livestock farmers/ranchers have to be and are very aware of any situation that affects their stock in a negative way, and certainly if a pattern of multiple similar scenarios occur. [/QUOTE]
