<party> (clapping) <party> (clapping) If more cattlemen would pay attention to how they breed their cows they would end up with better cows. AAOK has hit the nail on the head.  Breed strength to weakness and you will be amazed at the results. While EPDs are a valuable tool, their is more to...

At many of these shows that require registration papers, if the animals are not eligible for registration in one of the other registries, they can be registered with us, the Composite Beef Cattle Registry. Our registration papers have and are being accepted at shows.

While it is known that all species of beef cattle have genetic defects, conditions and abnormalities present in their DNA.  Some breeds do not register animals that are carrier, other will register females that are carriers but no males, and other allow for the registration of carrier animals...

I think that this can be true of some of the other breeds too!  It used to be that you could tell each breed by their look and color.  Now when you go to a show, if it wasn't announced what breed was showing it would be hard to tell. With the Simmental, there is an increase in popularity of the...

I have seen some CC&7 calves and was not impressed with them at all.  Hoover Dam sired by CC&7 I have seen some really nice calves, but again need to watch his frame and use Hoover Dam on large framed cows.

I have seen some Regis calves.  They are pretty nice, the only thing I would fault them on is frame.

We us Adobe Photoshop but here is an OpenSource FREE program, that I have seen used and was impressed with what it could do. look at http://paint-net.soft32.com/ It doesn't cost anything to try it or check it out, just some of your time.

You also have the option of registering your bull in the Composite Beef Cattle Registry. the website is www.compositebeef.com We are in the process of a new total redesign of the website, but the membership, registration applications and fees are all available on the site.  If you have any...

You would think that with the "government" involved with the ADTA (Animal Disease and Traceability Act) that there would be a single rule pertaining to the kind and type of ID that would be required and accepted by all states. But each state has the option of creating their own rules and what...

It will definitely work for ANY DEAL!!!

There are some differences in RFID tags too.  The standard has been a full-duplex tag that transmits data both ways at the same time. The latest is an HD (half-duplex) tag that either only sends or receives one way at a time.  These tags are supposed to have a better transmitting range and are...

The Composite Beef Cattle Registry is a for profit entity.  Our rates are very affordable, Membership is $25 annually and Junior Membership is $10 annually.  Our registration rates start at $10 for animals under 240 days of age, and the highest rate is $35 for animals that are over 24 months of...

If they allow RFID tags is a much better option.  The metal tag is fine for short term use as we have seen many animals that were tagged with metal tags when they were bangs vaccinated and have lost them.  Some animals that are older still can have the tags, it all depends on environment as to...

This is true, we have seen many good quality Angus and Hereford cattle, that because the herdbooks are closed, are not eligible to be registered with their respective breed registry because.  Many of these breeders have hand written or computer records on these cattle.  This is another service...

These requirements are part of the animal and traceability act that is to be fully implemented by March 11, 2015. Here is a link that explains it: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/downloads/rule_movement_general.pdf This also greatly affects the dairy industry, they already use RFID tags...

I have been busy for the last few days and just noticed this post.  As the Composite Beef Cattle Registry, we are open to accepting new breeds or combinations of breeds.  There is quite a bit to setting up a registry and a breed.  Breed codes, genetic evaluations, the herd book, and the list can...

It seems like anymore that all cable and satellite companies don't care about what customers want.  It all in the name of GREED.  You can't get programs that you like and want to watch without taking lots of other channels because what we want to watch in only available in certain packages...

That is all to common for China, look at all of the other products that have had ingredients that were harmful and poisonous.  They just plain don't care. melamine in pet food, lead paint used on toys, pet treats that kill our pets and the list goes on and on.

While some of that may be true, other countries have more information that is available to their consumers, but some of their consumers aren't as concerned as what consumers seem to be here in the USA. Part of that could be due to the easier access to information that is available to the US...

People want their cake and eat it too!  Like Knabe says, they want information, but are unwilling to pay for it.  Was just listening to part of Agritalk this morning with Mike Adams, and some of the guest on the show keep talking about we are 3 and 4 generations removed from the farm.  People...
