[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1517130, member: 22295"] Jeanne I misunderstood your post and intent when I read it. I do agree that they dock because they can. And where the white or other issues comes from when a bull is used on commercial cows is many times hard to determine. It can be either or both I've found. I've seen it go both ways. The way we usually do is to change bulls but stay within the breed and see if it goes away or not. If it does we lay the blame on the bull and if it don't on the cows. It is like the registered Angus bulls we used who didn't take the horns off of cows. We changed bulls and they did. The bulls also had scurs. Feel there was a horn gene somewhere in the background. Many times the PB breeder will say it is commercial breeders cows or his neighbor's bull must of bred a few. All of which can be the case. But when an issue is scattered over a 60 day breeding period unless the breeder wasn't checking his cows at all he should of noticed it. [/QUOTE]
