[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 738029, member: 7645"] Knersie, you can't guarantee the accuracy of the pedigree for much the same reasons you can't guarantee the accuracy of human genealogical research (that great grandad Bob and great grandmom Sarah were married doesn't "guarantee" that Bob Jr was related to Bob Sr). The pedigree is the accepted history, the likely history, not the GUARANTEED history. If any breed association "guarantees" it's accuracy, I got questions about THEIR honesty. I have absolutely no knowledge that anything unethical occurred in Titan's or any other bull's history. Blind conjecture on the part of some long dead former breed association employee with a chip on his shoulder told second or third hand via the rumour mill back before we had DNA testing wouldn't be admissable in any court of law because it is hearsay, conjecture, and little more plausible than a ghost story. I have heard Justa Banner derisively called Justa Simmental for almost 30 years and I don't see anything in his pic or his performance that would make me question his Herefordness. Are we going to eliminate his great great great great great progeny from use because of some snide comments? In Perfection's case, the APHA actually delisted from the pedigree and there are media and court records showing that the APHA board themselves at one time officially declared his pedigree fraudulent. In THAT case there is strong researchable evidence to make the case that the pedigree is suspect; but even there it still stands in the AHA database as originally turned in. [/QUOTE]
