[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1593536, member: 16303"] It is costly to do DNA testing, but it is something that really needs to take place for the sake of some breeds. If ALL bulls were required to be DNA tested and parentage verified (especially to their sire), there would probably be fewer bulls for sale! In processing registrations, when we have to ask questions and how little some breeders know or how terrible their records are, it makes you wonder. Many commercial operations keep much better records that would put some registered operations to shame! We have requested a hand-full of times that an animal be DNA tested. One animals we had quite a time trying to figure out the sire, but we finally did. One thing that I thought was good is that we had one breeder that submitted genomic samples to France for some Montbeliarde. He had one animal that did not parentage verify to her sire, but they were able to determine who it was. If the markers on an animal are available, why can't out genomic testing companies do the same thing? Are some of the genomic labs in Europe ahead of us? [/QUOTE]
