Let me take the liberty of changing your question just a bit... now if i bred him to a stray dog I found on the street would i be able to reg. those calves as chi? Yes. |

steer boy
the chi registry is so pointless... you can register anything from a registered sire/non registered dam or vice versa
but it has its perks, if you get chi papers, at big shows ive seen crossbreed classes go up to 15 head, the chi class had 3 head.

what i never get is how people show heatwaves as maines. the maine's website says steers need to be 1/4 maine and out of a registered maine bull of at least 50% maine.
this shouldn't work but it happens all the time.

A Heat Wave sired Maine calf can only be a heifer, it can't be registered as a bull or steer and after the 1st of the year from what I understand in the new Genetic Defect policy a Heat Wave can not be registered as a Maine because he is TH.
