[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1649533, member: 16303"] As the [URL='http://www.dairycattleregistry.com']International Dairy Cattle Registry[/URL], one of the breeds that we register is Fleckvieh. The Fleckvieh is considered a dual purpose breed but there are lines that are more productive for dairy and others that are better suited for beef. Most of the semen that is used is imported from Germany and Austria. Many breeders have bred up from Holstein to purebred and there are a few that have imported embryos. There are some differences between Fleckvieh and Simmental. They are both members of the Simmental breed but the Fleckvieh is a little more moderate in their size, this is one thing that many breeders like about the Fleckvieh. Some will argue that Fleckvieh and Simmental is one and the same, but this is not the case. As we register the Fleckvieh (as well as other dairy breeds) any bull or animal that is a carrier of a genetic defect has an * at the end of their name. Also we use the actual breed percentage on animals. We DO NOT round up 87.5% animals to 100% in calculating the breed percentages in the next generation. With the genetic defect, there are some of the defects that cannot be tested for here in the US. We have been doing registrations for almost 8 years and our organization has grown. We also process beef registrations for Heritage Shorthorn Society, American Pinzgauer Association the Wagyu Cattle Registry, U.S. Normande Breeders Organization. To our knowledge, Angus and Hereford are the only herdbooks that are closed and do not allow for grading up. [/QUOTE]
