I have some questions regarding registering some 1/2 blood simmental calves. Would experts be willing to give me some advice?

I bred some commercial females with Grandmaster semen, are the registerable? Or did I need to get a semen certificate? Any other advice.

I'm curious about this as well.

Hi All,
Here is the excerpt from the American Simmental Association that will answer your question:
PARENTAGE

Dam's ASA registration number: This is a unique number assigned by the Association to a dam at the time she was registered. If the dam is not registered with ASA, then a permanent identification-not a name-year of birth and her percentage breeds such as 100 Angus or 1/2 Mix and 1/2 Hereford are required.Sire's ASA registration number: This is a unique number assigned by the Association to the sire at the time he was registered. The sire must be registered in the Simmental or Simbrah herdbook before a calf can be registered.
Breeders using sires of another breed can register calves as Simmental provided the other breed sire is registered with his breed association and then with ASA and the dam is a registered Simmental

Hope this helps you,
Kevin

In other words, yes you can do it. You just need to register the dam with the association now or at the same time you do the calves. They just get a commercial # and the the calves will be halfbloods.

Depending on the breeds involved with the dams, I'm thinking you might have to do some genetic defect testing before they are allowed to be papered....correct me if I'm wrong.

I registered all my % bred cattle last fall and this spring. They just came back trait trac yellow on the angus dam's but I still got papers. I'm going to test all dam's I have left and try and get to all green status....
