BB338-
registered - what?? "Everything on the place". What are your reasons for registering "everything on the place"? Do you think that by registering "everything" it will improve your genetics? ....and what selection factors will you use to determine what "just about" will cause you to not register them? What will you do with those that you not register? . . . and what will you do with those that you DO Register? What Traits and Characteristics are you going to focus on for Selection choices, and why are you going to focus on those particular characteristics? In your "Long Term Goal" planning, how many years are you allowing yourself to acquire a registered herd of high enough genetic quality to justify a completely registered herd which will elevate your genetics to an elite level, thereby vindicating your considerable expense and efforts to achieve that desirable goal?
These are mandatory factors to consider when " Registering Everything on the Place"!
