		Understanding the Ultrasound Info Craze (part II) Posted by : Patrick Wall on Friday, November 11, 2005 - 12:00 AM
		3536 Reads Even though ultrasound technology and its application to the beef industry is still in its "calf" stage, the demand for carcass information is growing and maturing rapidly. With each breed association reporting ultrasound data and carcass EPDs independently, comparing the numbers becomes difficult and extremely confusing. In response to countless requests from breeders and buyers alike, a grass-roots explanation of ultrasound data as it is collected "chute-side" is long overdue. A step-by-step description of each image collected is a good method to help beef producers understand the traits measured and how to incorporate them into selection programs, regardless of breed or background, farm or feedlot.

		Inheritance of Polledness, Horns and Scurs in Beef Cattle Posted by : B. C. Allison on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 12:00 AM
		5101 Reads In beef cattle of European ancestry the trait of being polled or having horns is determined by one pair of genes. One gene in the pair is inherited from the dam and the other from the sire. The polled gene (P) is dominant to the horned gene (p). If an animal has two polled genes(PP), homozygous, or one polled and one horned gene (Pp), heterozygous, it will be polled. However, if it is heterozygous polled (Pp) it may pass either the polled or horned gene on to its' offspring. The only situation when an animal will be horned is when it possesses two recessive horned genes (pp), homozygous horned. Table 1 illustrates the expression of polledness or horns and what genes and traits can be expected to be passed to the offspring from the various matings. 1052 More words
