alpacas: Re: [AlpacaTalk] CA

Oh good lord. I have to respond to this. Ok, so say you disclose that famous sire A has produced CA crias. Doesn't this mean every offspring of his ought to be culled? That is what it means, right? So say someone has a great grandson of his. Yes, according to your logic, all of the great grandson's aunts and uncles ought to be culled, too.

It is culling the lines that have produced it, not culling the lines of their mother's father's aunt's uncle. If the problem line is in the background of an animal, pull it. Cut and dried, simple as that. An animal WITH CA never would have lived unless it is a partial. In that case, I would encourage someone to do something with that animal as this is a dead giveaway and if you are going to let it be known, be prepared to say the lines with. People are going to want to know.
