[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4326"] Thanks Frankie! The two primary breed associations for Texas Longhorns are ITLA and TLBAA. To the best of my knowledge (based on registration certificate information), only the ITLA has a section on the certificates for weights at birth, 205, and 365 days. Breeders I have talked to or corresponded with don't seem to bother with taking these weights to put on certificate. Similarly, there is no provision on the TLBAA registration application for reporting weights. The TLBAA has an active registry program accessed via "Longhorn Max" software where you can register and transfer information over the Web site. The companion software (for other breeds) is "Cattle Max". You can view these programs at <A HREF="http://www.cattlemax.com" TARGET="_blank">www.cattlemax.com</A> or <A HREF="http://www.longhornmax.com" TARGET="_blank">www.longhornmax.com</A> On the other hand, at Running Arrow Farm, we weigh all new calves at birth (or as soon as we can safely handle the calf--depends on its mother) and track 205 and 365 day weights. Also, we try to measure horn everytime we work the cattle--some monthly, others definitely at worming injections, etc. By monitoring horn and weight data, we can "predict" (with help of some charts) a ballpark estimate of potential horn growth. And, can determine if we will retain a calf in our herd based on horn potential. [email=info@runningarrowfarm.com]info@runningarrowfarm.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
