Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hey folks, I have found a place that will do A2 testing. The cost per animal is $30, if you have over 10 animals. If not, the total cost is $300, regardless of the number of animals. So, if you had five to test, it'd be $60 per cow, four to test, $75 per cow. Anyway, I thought this was no longer available, and am excited I found it. Rob said it takes 6-8 weeks, but here is the actual form to print and fill out. Best Wishes! A2 Testing Sender's Information Name: ___________________________________ Address__________________________________ City: _____________________________ State: ___________ Zip: _________ Phone: ____________________ Cell: ______________________________ FAX__________________ E-mail address: ________________________________________________ Are you a current user of LIC Sires? __________ would you like to be included on our mailing list? (Receive Green to Gold magazine, Sire Directory and other information) ____________________ Preferred method of receiving results? Mail, FAX or email ________________________ Instructions: A hair sample is required for A2 testing. Pull a bunch of (roughly) 20 tail hairs from the switch of the cow's tail. It's important to make sure the hairs are pulled out and not cut off, as we're after the hair root. The hair needs to be fairly clean and also dry, as dung or water can cause the hair roots to rot in transit. Seal the 20 hairs from each animal in a small zip-lock bag labeled with the animal's name/tag number or whatever you'd like the animal identified as. Ship samples with payment to; Seymour Dairy Inc 7580 Redberg Rd. Cloverdale, OR 97112 Samples must be accompanied by payment of $30.00 per sample. Make checks out to Seymour Dairy Inc ($300 minimum required) Results are typically available in 3-4 wks.
