[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 802600, member: 968"] There are no "known" Angus sires in his pedigree - his ancestors were developed breeding commercial cows to Fullblood Simm bulls. I actually found one base cow that was 1/2 Angus & 1/2 HH. Remember, back in the late 60's & 70's, you were not going to find a PB Angus breeder breeding his reg. cow to the new breed. Now, it happens all the time. The Amer Simm Assn. follows all pedigrees as to any possibility of a genetic defect. If you look up any reg. # of a Simm - their sheet is color coded to let you know if they are clear of defects thru testing, clear of defects thru pedigree, suspect, etc. ASA stays on top of all the other breed's genetic defects because there are a lot of % cattle on the ASA books of registry. Any calf wanting to be registered in ASA from "unknown" status or from a "carrier" must be tested prior to be able to register that calf. [/QUOTE]
