[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1584783, member: 968"] I have to admit, I have no clue about all the other "breed" names. I upgraded from commercial cattle and have been a PB breeder since. I occasionally use a 3/4% bull. "found out that there are only about 1,200 Purebred/Fullblood Fleckvieh animals registered annually. So the[b] majority of their registrations are black animals[/b]." No, the number of animals that are [u]not[/u] Fullblood has nothing to do with their color. Purebreds are black or red. A purebred NEVER is considered 100% or Fullblood. ASA was founded using all the above named breeds (Fleckvieh, Montbeliarde, Pie Rouge, Abondance & Pezzata Rosa ). There was never any differentiation when you registered your 1/2 or 3/4 or 7/8 or PB. Years ago a bull had to be 15/16 to be classified as PB - female was 7/8. They had to have 5 generations of FULLBLOODs to be classified as a Fullblood, because even tho the semen/or animal may have been imported, they may have come from CROSSBRED cattle from France, Switzerland or Germany, etc. They have lowered the standards and have added all these "fancy" titles, SimAngus, SimSolution - blah blah blah. Bunch of horseshYt to me. I believe (besides just the plain old money angle) a lot of it is because of "wants" of the juniors to register all these crossbreds for showing. [/QUOTE]
