This sort of stuff, chaps my arse:
>>GENETIC ABNORMALITY POLICY
1. Seller will be responsible for informing buyers of all known information relative to
genetic abnormalities.
2. Buyer will assume all risk associated with the purchase of known and unknown genetic
abnormality carrier animals provided the seller has disclosed all known information
relative to said genetic abnormalities.
3. Seller is not responsible for any new genetic abnormalities that are recognized by
the American Hereford Association after the sale of an animal or genetic material.<<

Well if you go back several generations in any Line One breed cow you likely see an IEC by one of the sires.
Why are the sales promoters (not to mention the OWNERS) not insisting on listing the status of the sales animal?
Under that boilerplate all you have to do is NOT test and provide a registration number and the seller is free from all liability or adjustment for selling a IEC or HYC or DLC animal.
Pretty sorry.

You won't find an IEC in the pedigrees of any of the straight Miles City LIne 1's. |

You won't find an IEC in the pedigrees of any of the straight Miles City LIne 1's. Unfortunately, there's no straight Miles City Line 1s in the sale that the original policy stated above was taken from. There's a number of potential carriers in the sale, though. I'm a little weary of having to ask every time I have an interest in an animal but they have a carrier in their background. And I've gotten too many replies where the owner acts like they have no clue what I'm referring to - or they come back with something like: "I haven't had any trouble with that in my herd." If you're going to sell an animal in a sale, and there's a carrier in their pedigree where the chain isn't broken by an ancestor testing as being free, TEST THE ANIMAL! Otherwise, you've lost me as a bidder. And I'll bet I'm not the only one that feels that way. George |

You're not. The Herefords in Native America Sale is where that came from. I was interested in a few of the head. Now there are only two head that will qualify for me.
Unless the others are ridiculously cheap it is not worth the chance.
