Calf Registration.

I was surprised to find that HCS want not only to heavily charge for a late calf registration, but require a DNA test on the calves' old dams, who had had many calves registerred before. The irony is that I had these old cows tested by HHBI, and they all passed the test, whereas the vast majority of the cattle registerred by the HCS are bred to mainly American imports, which IBERS' report shows to have been subject to considerable introgression from outside the breed. Indeed, not only the jump in size, but factors of conformation and milk quality.
