[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1491279, member: 16303"] As we register animals in both the Composite Beef Cattle and Composite Dairy Cattle Registries, yes it is surprising at the difference in breed composition of the animals. We use actual breed composition and do not follow that if an animal is 87.5% use it as 100%, that is wrong. Our members want it right. It is also surprising at the % of dairy in the breed makeup of some of the beef breeds. But so that it wouldn't show it was figured as XB for Crossbred Beef. We have processed several pedigrees and many go back to the early 70's and many back into the 60's, and some we can go further back if need be. Some breeds conveniently leave out some of the breeds in the makeup or give another breed an ID and consider it as their breed. Some of the so called "purebred" animals are more crossbred than some may realize. March 11th we will celebrate our 5th year. [/QUOTE]
