Designated Carriers: Limber Legs, Rectovaginal Constriction
Limber Legs (LL) and Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) are genetic abnormalities which are inherited as simple recessives. Jerseys with a carrier parent have a 50% chance of being a carrier for either LL or RVC. Jerseys with a carrier grandparent have a 25% chance of being a carrier.
Animals affected with either Limber Legs or Rectovaginal Constriction are produced only when carriers are mated. Careful selection of mates for Jerseys with carriers in their pedigrees is needed to avoid producing affected progeny.
The complete list of male carriers of these abnormalities designated by the Board of Directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association is as follows:
