New Mexico
coming thru on high %'s of opens.
Plenty of NH ( neuropathic hydrocepholis ) Angus bulls out there.
They are cheaper for folks to buy, and seedstock guys can get rid of em at decent money too.
( granted it gets down to morals for money on some of the supposed seedstock producers/sellers ).
If a cow has the NH defect and she's bred to an NH defect bull, 25% of those abort EVERY time at the 30 to 60 day PG stage.
Afore syndrome gets mixed up with trich alot....once all the rocks are turned over though it's ussually nh and not trich.
PIA for the commercial pruducer is testing for trich is dam expensive, and tends to be a double expense test if you test a false positive on a bull (then get to test em again).
higher number of open cows, than I think feasible...
