[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1651708, member: 16303"] Since we have the Composite Beef Cattle Registry, to each their own. For most commercial producers they don't care about pedigree or ancestry, they just want a cow that can produce a calf. But we have several breeders that double register their calves with us because the breed association will not document all of the ancestry. This is a failure of most all breed registries. "A registry is responsible for documenting all known ancestry of an animal (regardless of breed composition)" As a registry, we are different. We document ALL known ancestry, while most associations and registries will only list their own breed on the papers. Producers should want to know what they are buying. What about knowing the genetics which can help in breeding. What about knowing if anything may be a carrier? And as some have said, if an animal is from a well known reputable breeder, then with a registration paper that should ad value. Verified information is of value. Even in an individuals own herd, knowing the ancestry can again be of importance. On the flip side, to add value to the heifers, we have a "Certified Replacement Heifer Program". Heifers in this program will need to be calfhood vaccinated, bangs vaccinated along with other vaccinations that they need. Also they will need to be DNA tested with the Neogen Igenity Beef Profile + BVD. If they are horned they need to be dehorned. And the last thing they need is to have pelvic measurements. This, along with a registration paper stamped "Certified Replacement Heifer" would be valuable. [/QUOTE]
