GRANDAM OF LOT 292
SYDGEN MISS WIX 4472
DAM OF LOT 291
We guarantee that all bulls and females over 7 months of age at time of
sale are fertile. If you have an infertility problem with any SydGen animal,
you must contact us before culling the animal for any credit to be issued.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to return the animal to the seller in good
breeding condition. SydGen reserves the right, on a case by case basis, to
determine whether the animal be returned or sold for salvage.
If a bull does not pass a breeding soundness evaluation or does not
settle cows naturally, we will provide you with a satisfactory replacement
or issue you a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage
value received for that bull. If the animal is returned, the credit will be for
the full amount paid for the animal. This credit will include the cost of the
wintering fee if that service was used, and can be used at any future SydGen
or SydGen Influence Sale toward any animal sold by us.
If a female is determined to be a non-breeder, we will offer you the
difference of her purchase price minus her salvage value as a credit in any
future SydGen Sale. Or, we will credit you with the full purchase price if she
is returned. If a female sold as bred turns out to be open, we will refund
30% of the amount paid. She then would still qualify for the remainder of
the credit if she does not breed back. Heifers that are flushed prior to having
their first calf carry no breeding guarantee. Guarantee is null and void if the
animal dies. This guarantee is in addition to the Sale Terms and Conditions
of the American Angus Association, which also apply.
Replacement Policy
Most of us remember September 2008 all too vividly. The Angus world
was dazed with the discovery of a lethal recessive genetic condition,
Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), in one of our most widely used sire lines.
The American Angus Association and most all breeders took the stance
that we needed to eliminate this gene from the population, and not take
the chance of doing serious harm to our commercial customers. The policy
adopted centered on the denial of registration to any bull calves carrying the
defective gene. About 6 months later, another lethal recessive, Neuropathic
Hydrocephalus (NH), was discovered, and the same policies and thought
processes prevailed, even though this one was a little different, in that most
of the affected animals would not live to term, and would actually be victims
of early embryonic death.
About 15 months later, yet another recessive, Contractural Arachnodac-
tyly (CA), was proven to be a genetic condition and a test was developed.
It was a little different yet, since it was not technically a lethal, but most
of the affected calves would die soon after birth, unless extraordinary
measures were taken to help the calf nurse and get started. The Association
once again kept the same format of rules in place.
In 2011, AAA updated the policy for one strain of dwarfism (D2), that had
been announced in 2005, so the rules for registration were the same as for
AM, NH and CA.
By this point, many breeders were coming to grips with a different
thought process and acceptance of the science. Animal scientists agree that
all mammals, including all breeds of cattle, possess genetic recessives,
some of them lethal, and that elimination of all deleterious genes is impos-
sible. In fact, new mutations occur every time a sperm hits an egg, so if one
were to breed a truly “clean” male and female, there is still no certainty the
progeny would be truly “clean.”
Also in 2011, a strain of double muscling (M1) was found in Angus cattle,
and this recessive is different yet, in that there are actually tenderness and
muscling advantages in the heterozygous animals. The affected animals
(homozygous for the trait), however, have higher incidences of dystocia. The
resulting policy from AAA is that there are no restrictions on the regis-
trations of carrier animals (M1C), but affected animals (M1A), cannot be
recorded.
In 2013, the newest identified recessive, Developmental Duplication
(DD), was identified and a test developed. This one is different yet, in that
the affected animals (DDA), can be victims of early embryonic death, or they
can be conjoined twins, or they can be born with extra limbs that are easily
removed, or they might appear perfectly normal, all according to just how
it is expressed in that circumstance. Given this information, the AAA policy
puts no constraints on the registration of carriers or DDA animals.
We thought this synopsis helps explain our policy on the sale of carrier
animals. As stated in our letter, all the cattle selling today are tested free
or have no ancestry at risk for AM, NH, CA or D1. We will test all animals at
risk for M1 and DD, and that information will be supplied by sale day, if the
results are not actually printed in the sale book. Any service sires that are
DD carriers are also noted as (DDC) in the breeding information.
We are fortunate to live in a time that tests are available to move forward
with the clean animals when the condition is truly lethal, and not have to try
to eliminate all descendants, as most breeders did with Syndactyly, Heter-
ochromia Irides, Osteopetrosis and some strains of dwarfism years ago. We
are now able to use carriers of genetic conditions more wisely by knowing
which ones carry the recessive and which do not.
