Comments we hear from many breeders is that it is too expensive to register animals.  When associations raise fees in order to cover the cost of offices, staff, etc., it is the membership that is expected to pay.  But at what price.  When associations do raise the fees, they lose membership and...

Most beef semen from the major bull studs will be in the NAAB database. This database lets you look up a bull by Stud Code Number, Registration Number, Registered Name, or the Short Name. Here is the link: http://naab-css.org/naab/beefdb.htm

The papers with the Composite Beef cattle Registry have been accepted in other states to show in AOB classes.  Illinois has a different set of rules for AOB.  Their rules are that the animals still has to be registered with a breed association, can't be done if the animal does not qualify.  We...

The heifer as you registered her would need to be shown in the AOB classes.  Breed classes are only open to animals registered with that breed registry.

When it comes to ET calves each registry has different rules.  Most will have the prefix of the breeder that the embryos were purchased from.  Others have a form that the seller can sign giving the new owner permission to to use their own prefix. When animals are purchased in dam, most...

Very Well Said!

AJ,  There is.  It is called the Livestock Conservancy https://livestockconservancy.org/

This is so true!  The Whole Herd Programs are very important because information is reported on all animals not just the best ones that are registered. While realizing that registries have expenses as well for wages/salaries, office rent/leases, and keeping up programs and services offered to...

Having 2 registries ourselves, Composite Beef Cattle Registry and Composite Dairy Cattle Registry, it seems that some people come to the conclusion that registering cattle is not important.  Sometimes we hear comments like "I don't need to register my cattle, my name associated with an animal is...

Our Vet waits to do it a 4 months.

We are trying to research the pedigree of FU FILL.  We have that he was born on 10/11/2011, sired by 360 DEGREES.  We need more info on 360 DEGREES, date of birth.  Found that 360 DEGREES is sired by HEAT WAVE.  Need info if anyone has it on 360 DEGREES dam besides she is a daughter of WHO...

Leachman has a registered trademark for the name Stabalizer based on research at the Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, NE. The research Center called them MARC I, MARC II and MARC III.

If the animals are registered, then the breed association will have approved labs for the testing as they also provide a report to the association. If these are commercial animals the it would make no difference.  Igenity is a good lab and can perform many test.  You may even want to consider...

The Irish Black / Irish Red are somewhat related to the Amerifax.  The Irish Blacks and Reds are predominately Friesian with a little Angus blood.  The Amerifax on the other hand is a 5/8 Angus x 3/8 Friesian.

Our feeling is that ALL of the breeds need to do more to promoting purebreds.  Look at all of the other Continental breeds, what has happened?  They are all black with a tremendous amount of Angus influence. On the other hand, while the Shorthorn breed does have some outside influence, the...

Ampules used to be the way the semen was packaged.  Some of the old ones were I think 1cc and then ABS came out with their 1/2 cc ampules.  Some you had to use a scribe and score them. I bred quite a bit for several dairies around and had a couple of customers that if they had 2 - 4 cows that...

Many have had misconceptions about the Composite Beef Cattle Registry since our beginning, but we are about to start our 4th year.  With the Composite Dairy Cattle Registry, because breeders of "non-traditional" breeds were being treated unfairly, ignored and ridiculed by other registries, they...

Doing the research for registrations we go back at least 5 generations (if information is available) and on some of the diary breeds especially we can go back 15 or more generations, to animals from back in the 30's and 40's. Where we are different is we use the original registration number...

Sue, Our database is not online at this time, but that is a project that we are working on and plan on it being ready in the next few months.

The Composite Registries continue to grow with new members and services. Recently the American Lineback Dairy Cattle Registry signed an agreement to have the Composite Registries take care of processing their registrations, memberships, classifications and other data services. With the...
