Ive read where you can test DNA by blood but can you also check what breed (or %'s of) by blood? If so who/where does this testing?

To the best of my knowledge this test doesn't exist. If someone ACTUALLY know of one and who is doing it I would love to have that info,.

The Angus Assn says that you can't. The Gelbvieh Assn says you can't. We just went through this a couple of weeks ago...I don't suppose you could be a little more specific as to who is capable of doing this test

You can determine parentage of a calf if you also have DNA on the parents.
You cannot tell relative breed % in any animal work any test.
I would totally do that!..Rafter S":3obgep38 said:I see those ads on TV from Ancestry.com that says they can tell what percentage of your ancestors came from what part of the world from a DNA sample. Draw a little blood from a bull, send it to them, and see what kind of results you get.
