Customer Survey
We have stocks of one CVM sire and have access to another. We are against widespread use of CVM sires BUT if there are exceptional breed leading sires that we could make a available, is it morally right or wrong to put them on the market provided all potential customers are made aware of problem?
I know Cogent and Genus face same dilemma. And much cvm semen is currently being sold en masse into commercial herds without clear warnings. Sometimes, on finding customers using cvm sires, we ask if they realise they have cvm to hear a reply, "what is cvm?"
Clearly these salesmen skipped over the cvm issue.
I know that due to slump in world demand on CVM sires, they would be considerably cheaper than non cvm alternatives of same standard.
Here is one such sire available to us:-Careca. Click on the link.

Top bull on this list of top production (TOP)sires is Careca- a massive fat and protein sire with a decent linear. Click on his name for his linear.Nothing else in the breed can give us this level of percents with a half decent linear.
What to do for the best?
