Some of the 840 tags also have an RFID as part of them.  We use that 840 number as a registration number for the animal as well.  The 840 RFID tags are tamper evident, so they cannot be reused. We recommend using the Half-Duplex RFID tags which are white.  These tags are used by the dairy...

The test can be either done with blood samples or hair samples. We need to update our beef website, but the order form is on our dairy website.  Composite Dairy Cattle Registry www.dairycattleregistry.com and the actual link to the order form is...

From some of our research, Leptin is something that can be detected by a DNA test.  It seems that that Leptin has to do with the marbling and tenderness. From our understanding from Igenity, when they run the beef profile, they do test for Leptin, but it is not displayed in the results. With...

With seeing this post, and we have seen and heard plenty about the issue with how the classification works (or does not work) at the shows.  We have had contact with some of the livestock managers.  Many seem of the opinion that their system works. But complaints and comments from exhibitors...

This is an interesting story. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/business/farming/521663/scottish-bull-testicles-removed-hes-still-making-calves-15-months-died/

We have done some checking and was refereed to Dan Schmiesing, his phone number is 765-425-4515.  There has been some Red Poll semen that was imported that is from dairy production from England and there are approximately 200 units that may be available. Give Dan a call as he will be the best...

librarian, This cross as you are proposing would be more suited for our Composite Beef Cattle Registry, since some of the breeds you are utilizing are beef breeds. Everyone's focus is somewhat different, and there does seem to be a resurgence of a "Homestead" Dual-Purpose type of animal. The...

When breeding cattle or any species of animals, different traits have varying amounts of heritability.  While it is hard to distinguish the exact amount that is involved with any one specific trait, there are some tables that are available to show different traits and how inheritable they are...

This is very interesting and could apply to many of today's breeds. In his book, Gus Bowling stated, “It may be difficult for us to think of a time, in the dairy cattle breeding industry, when there were no pedigreed cattle, no breed registry organizations and no Herd Books to which we could go...

Librarian, In another post on SP, the question was ask about A2 milk.  We have been looking into all of these things.  We were first contacted by a Geneseek rep back in July of last year about offering what they call a dairy profile test to our members and the dairy industry which is a test...

We represent as a registry Fleckvieh, Montbeliarde, Swedish Red and White, Norwegian Red, Red Dane and other dairy crosses. The Fleckvieh has a few polled bulls that are available, Norwegian Red also has some polled bulls and they are also ranking very high for TPI which is increasing their...

I have sent you a PM

So then they are figuring because of the 87.5% basically having reached purebred status, that his offspring are 50%

I-80 is only 87.5% Maine, so the cow would be less than 50%. With the Chianina Assoc. animals need to be a minimum of 6.25% and Bodacious is only 5.66%

I think I saw yesterday somewhere that Peyton Manning will be back for one more year.

Here is a link to a company that does cloning ViaGen http://www.viagen.com/.  They have a page on their that explains some of the procedures involved.

Simmental has a Whole Herd reporting program that is $15 per breeding age female.  With the Chianina Association, it cost $25 to register a calf under 150 days.  How would going to these registries make it any better?  The only thing with the Angus that would be different is the additional cost...

It is interesting in looking for information.  At one time there was The American Black Maine-Anjou Association and the International Maine-Anjou Association. In reading comments about some of these other breeds, especially the Chianina, what has happened to them, the fullbloods are almost non...
