[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 921291, member: 1683"] Just because she ". . .can be registered" is [b]not[/b] a verifiable reason to do so. There are many factors which should be considered in registering an animal other than the fact that she is already a "pedigreed" candidate! Phenotype, Genetic EPD's, Functional traits, DNA markers, - her own personal characteristics - ALL should be considered prior to going to the expense and effort of registering [b][i]any[/i][/b] animal. Registering poor quality individuals of any breed is one thing that has contributed to the depletion of desirable characteristics and traits in all of the cattle breeds. The primary goal(s) of any conscientous producer is to focus on the [b][i]improvement[/i][/b] of the progeny over the parents for future Profits! In my opinion, if this cow is of adequate beef [i]quality[/i] to be able to be bred to a bull of [b][i]more desirable[/i][/b] qualities, and the resulting progeny should be an improvement over the parents, THEN give serious thought and consideration to registering the cow. Profit and Improvement (not necessarily in that order) should be the goal of registering seedstock - breed Improvement and your own Profit! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
