[QUOTE="KB, post: 89070, member: 705"] You are correct. 1A Red Angus cattle are 100% or as some would refer to as "Fullblood" Red Angus. 1B are Red Angus that are 87.5% to 99.9% Red Angus and have something else in their pedigree (this could be another breed or it could be an undocumented Red Angus in the pedigree). The majority of bulls that semen is sold on by the AI Bull Stud companies are 1A however, the best way for you to make sure is to go to the Red Angus website ([url=http://www.redangus.org]http://www.redangus.org[/url]) and then on the drop down list under GENETICS/EPDS click on EPDS AND DATA LOOKUP. When that page comes up click on EPD LOOKUP. You will then be able to type a registration number into the page to search for the sire. After your animal is shown, click on the reg# to go to the pedigree. On the third row down of information you will see: CATEGORY. That is the place where you can find out if the animal is 1A/1B/2/3. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
