[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1517291, member: 24816"] I agree with your statement that if one or a few commercial herds are having an issue with excess white then it probably isn't much of a big deal unless it's your herd and it is causing a dock. It gets much more serious when it's conditions like AM, NH, or DD. Those can potentially have a more substantial impact on a commercial herd than a lot registered folks realize. Be it actually expressed in birth of dead or deformed calves, or more commonly undetected as merely an open cow due to fetal abortion. I have heard some registered breeders saying that the carrier status cows can just be sold as commercial then most of the time they don't know of the status and may have a carrier bull then they inherit the problem. Granted the known defects are eventually dealt with.I do think that reports of issues should be taken seriously even from commercial herds as they are the beneficiaries of the registered cattle traits both good and negative.
