[QUOTE="Ohrmundt Simmentals, post: 1155525, member: 20629"] Ron, I just had to test 4 of our cows that are the base of a very large portion of our herd. We needed to test for DD. They all came back free. Used hair samples. I wanted to get them test since we kept some bulls that have the cows in their pedigree. I want to clean up the issue. I have had a pretty experience working with ASA staff when I questions or issues. As far as registering a 1/2 crossbred with ASA. If you're looking bred up which is something that we do with a number of our animals. You need to start somewhere. Whether it 1/2, 3/4..... We had registered simmentals back in the 80's and never kept up the papers on the calves. About 8 years ago I started registering again with our PB bulls that we use. So most of our old cows are/where PB but I could not register them as such since the sires was not know to ASA. I could only reg. the calves as 1/2 Sim 1/2 Commercial Sim. I think as long as you know what your breeding for then what ASA allows you to do with reg. is nice. As your not trying to miss lead any one. Which I don't think the case at all. I just think ASA figures why not put it out there in open 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, PB what ever. The only thing now with breeding up is dealing with more gentic issue from other breeds. Just something else to look out for. [/QUOTE]
