Anyone know a good website where I can find the genetic lines of calves? As we buy calves I like to do an in-depth "pedigree" showing their full genetic line. No real reason other than I'm trying to learn more about genetics and getting better calves by crossing good genetics rather than just slapping the latest Lautner bull on her and hoping she throws something good. I've had some luck with simply googling sires and websites such as ABS, SEK, Bull Barn Semen, and other semen sale sites, but I wondered if there was a Master Sire List that had all of the sires ever used, ever. ( some sort of cattle census? haha) It would help if the calves were PB as I could look on breed websites but lord knows how much these clubbys are crossed.
I guess for example; a calf we just bought is a Southern Comfort daughter. If you search Southern Comfort the first thing you find is the drink, then once you find the actual genetics of the bull, it just says he's out of a Stainless Steel daughter. I just want to know more about that dam and her genetic line. Anyone have any advice?
