UCD is now offering updated testing on your A2 samples which were tested prior to the new reporting of the various variants. The cost is $10.00 Instead of the original A1/A1 or A1/A2 or A2/A2 report, you will receive the report with variants.
The next discussion would be. . . . . what value is it to update and know the variants?

Do you know what date they changed the testing over?

I am not sure of the exact date when they began to report the variants, but it has been a while now. I will find out and let you know by the first of the week. Here is the information page from UCD with some explanation of the variants.

No worries, I was just curious.

I just noticed one of my newer tests said at the bottom that the new test started December 6, 2016. Answered my own question .

The value of knowing the variants might be in reporting obligates. If I have a cow that is actually the A2/A2 variant and a bull that is actually the A2/A2 variant then I can say that the calf is the A2/A2 variant and if someone tested it, they would get actual A2/A2 variant results.
I was relieved to find that all my Dexters tested so far are the actual A2 variant, because it will require less explaining in the future when someone asks for A2. I can simply say "yes, I have A2", and I don't have to explain the variants.
