[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 26223, member: 195"] Home Registration Certificate Revisions Recently, registration certificates have been modified to allow identification of animals known to be carriers of known genetic defects. Some breeders may have already noticed this change as all certificates now carry a small box in the lower right hand corner which displays current genetic defects of Hereford cattle. Within this box there is only one genetic defect listed and that is Hypotrichosis. This is a known genetic defect in Hereford cattle that can produce hairless calves. It is not a lethal defect. The box will appear on all registration certificates and does not mean the animal has a genetic defect. The HY abbreviation will appear below the name of animals in a pedigree that are known carriers of this defect. This is simply a safeguard to breeders with cattle that may have a known carrrier in a pedigree. This will allow potential customers to buy cattle with confidence and breed cattle accordingly. Again, all registration certificates will have this box displayed, but only animals within a pedigree that are known carriers will have the prefix displayed below the animals name. The American Hereford Association apologizes for any misconceptions or concerns this may have caused. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to call anyone in the records department of the AHA. [/QUOTE]
