OK guys and gals, there are some comments and questions I've see on another site about A2 corp. retracting some claims because of no scientific proof and some possible lawsuits. Any body know what's up?

I'm afraid this is blatantly untrue. Here is one reported recently.

So then, do most of you believe it is not "a passing fancy"? I mailed of A2 test on another one of mine yesterday..the plan is to do 1 a month. I think I will continue..

My feeling about A2 run very close to the comments made by RedRidge. (mostly jerseys here in the US) tend to be homozygous A1. The above is not what I am hearing about Jerseys mostly A2/A2 or A1/A2. From what I have read your comments might be true about Holsteins. Barb |

The reason I replied to your post was that you mentioned that Jerseys in the U.S. tend to be homozygous A1.
Your reply now mentions that Jerseys in the U.S. from your recollection are homozygous A2.
Just wanted to make that clarification.
Judy might be able to get the percentage of Dexters that are A2. All I can speak of is what is in my own personal herd which is:
A2/A2 - 21 Dexters
A1/A2 - 9 Dexters
A1/A1 - 0 Dexters

Most cattle folks I know who have herd shares will not test even though they know they will be able to charge more for their milk if they test homozygous A2 because they know their chances are less than 50/50 so they'd rather not know. This is what I am also hearing. Barb |
