[Jacob-list] Geneotype testing

[Royal D. Unzicker]

Hi Heather and Jacob Breeders,
Last year I had two Jacob rams and one Tunis ram gneotype tested to see 
how susceptible they may be to Scrapies.  The Tunis was QR and the two 
Jacob rams were both RR.  RR and QR are considered resistant to Scrapies 
according to information from my county agent.  His information also 
said, "in the US all positives for Scrapies have been QQ at codon 171.  
Around the world, there have been 6 QR Suffolks which have developed 
Scrapies.  There was also 1 RR Suffolk in Japan which developed the 
disease."  If this info was in the article you referred to, sorry to 
repeat. I did not see the article.
