composite question

[Countryboy5286]

I have a hoodoo x monopoly heifer that I bought last fall... The breeder I bought her from thought he could get her registered as a composite, but ended up not being able to.  If I breed her to a purebred charolais can I still register her calf?

Not a charolais guy (obviously) but I've looked into their registration program before and as long as the bull you use is an actual purebred or fullblood you should be able to register it as a 1/2.

Definitely go to Char website. They were very helpful with questions. my understaning is the cow or the bull on the first cross must be purebred or fullblood. You may have to provide DNA on embryos for qualification. so if you flush her pull DNA. Lot of bulls they already have on file if they are an AI sire especially. The first cross would be half blood. Have to see from there what the requirements are out of that female if she is half blood how she must be bred going forward to produce a registrable calf.
Monopoly I am certain is registered Chi. You may want to check the data base on that as well.
