Can someone provide a link to the upgrade chart for the American Simmental Association (ie. Percent Simmental of Sire x Percent Simmental of Dam = Offspring Breed Registration Eligibility)?

I was able to find this for the Canadian Simmental Association buy not ASA.  If they use the same chart, it appears that nothing under 50% can be registered.  Is this correct? 

Thanks!

Try the above and go to page 13.

There are very significant differences between the Canadian and American associations and many cattle that are considered purebred in the USA are only percentage in Canada.

Thanks.  This was helpful.  So it appears they will register down to an 1/8.  I assume that applies to both bulls and heifers.  From what I have read elsewhere steers need to be 1/2.  Can you confirm this is correct?
