alpacas: Re: [AlpacaTalk] CA/BEW

just to clear up this point so that Heather doesn't take this to the Nth..... (like what I say is going to matter, here anyway...)

"when we purchased these animals about 7 years ago on most, there were no BEW in the lines"

we bought most of our foundation herd 7 years ago,,,, and no BEW or CA were in the lines....

well, well, Heather.... we SO let this go, but here you are again....for someone who was growing weary of the subject, you are sure putting a lot of effort into keeping this subject going..... so I'll tell you this... when we purchased these animals about 7 years ago on most, there were no BEW in the lines.... The lines were checked again just two weeks ago, and then still found nothing. Now, what other people do during the almost decade of our owning the animals, we have no control over when the genetic is introduced into the line after the the spot in the pedigree where our animal is..... Purchase decisions are made with current information at hand... 7 years ago.

Since we are not aware of this "half sibling' you mention, you are more than welcome to let us know which line so we can re-check this line and either validate or prove negative your allegation. We have not had any blue eyes, or other problems in their offspring..... If we do indeed verify the allegation to be valid, the line will be pulled from our breeding program.

it is really interesting that you will "invetigate" our lines, but won't fess up to yours....

Regards,

Dawn

Oh dear, oh dear. Meagan, how do you feel about having offspring of an animal that has produced a BEW in your herd? Not the BEW in question, but say, a half sibling?

Just curious.

There was clearly a link between them in the link I had sent out to the board. I never said they are the same, I said that they were linked due to, well, exactly what the article said. AGAIN, you obviously are not reading what I SAID when I had written the initial post. Way to bat a thousand, Heather. Thumbs up!
