Black gene X diluter gene = rat tail. Get rid of your diluter cows that have the rats. Problem solved. The disorder, dubbed "curly calf syndrome" is now known as arthrogryposis multiplex. It is caused by a recessive gene in Angus. Angus breeders took care of this problem why can't we we get rid of the old limon colored simmental.
