[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 21587"] Ok Dyann...agree with your comment above (guess I generalized too much). YES there are some LH breeders that are NOT into Seedstock operation or that are NOT interested in registering their animals. AND, [u]every[/u] animal does not need to be registered. Agree...if you're only raising meat, rodeo stock, or related, no one really cares whether the animal is registered or not. Guess the important issue here is to make sure you keep "generic" stock separate from other stock so you don't lose track of who the calf came from [in case you decide to register it later] (especially when you are running large herds and can't monitor each one daily). Personally, if I have a calf (or calves) that is only worth $300 to $400 (aka roper stock) I had rather eat it than sell it for that! Incidentally, the small fee of $15. or so to register an animal is a drop in the bucket (assuming the animal is worth registering) compared to the increased "value" a registered animal can bring compared with a "per pound" LH or any other breed of bovine.
