[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1155510, member: 14878"] Sorry Ron for asking off topic, but I am going to step in it here. This is not directed at fire sweep only just using her answer. Is there a consensus among simi breeders that 50% blood is appropriate for registration? That is merely a crossbred in my mind. I would think 87.5% would be a serious attempt at breed up. How does anyone handle the epd issue with rampant heterosis? Are only purebreds compared? Whats to stop someone from constantly backcrossing between angus and simi to bump numbers and performance? Do you see customers seeking purebreds over the breed ups? just curious.... [/QUOTE]
