[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1415041, member: 16303"] This has been what we have said from the very beginning when we started our registries. We have felt that if a breed had a composite is should have been standardized at a 5/8 x 3/8 mix. But big money, greed and big breeders are the ones that pushed for what it is now. Very few of the breeds have or offer what would be considered purebreds. How many purebred or fullblood Simmental are there? How many Gelbvieh, Limousin, Maine Anjou or other breeds? Look at the Chianina, are there any fullblood or purebred Chianina in the US? They even allow as little as 6% or lower and still be considered a Chianina. With our diary registry, the Montbeliarde (in France) and Fleckvieh (Germany and Austria primarily) both have infused red Holstein into the breeds. Their is also the Swedish Red, Red Dane and Finnish Ayrshire. These three breeds are now being called Viking Reds and the individuality of these breeds will diminish because they are mixing them together. The breeds codes that are associated with these breeds will show what country the animals was bred in. Back when many of these breeds were brought to the US, fullblood animals could not be brought in because of disease issues from Europe. They did get some fullbloods into Canada. With Embryo Transplant, it was much easier to be able to have fullblood animals. [/QUOTE]
