[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 614465, member: 3972"] Clarification: It is my understanding that the online database was put into place primarily for accessing and calculating EPDs, and not for pedigree research. Since these animals many generations back have no performance records to base EPDs on, there was originally no reason to include them in the database. However, I've been told that the actual herdbook records at the AHA are complete and extended pedigrees can be obtained on any registered Hereford (for a price) from the association. In some cases these might have to be looked up and entered by hand. Perhaps we could get Obama to include completing the AHA online database in the new economic stimulus package and fund the hiring of some currently unemployed data processors to fill in all the holes, so those of us who like to do pedigree research could do it from our computers. :lol: George [/QUOTE]
