As long as both parents are recorded, as a char, and as a shorthorn, your should have no prob getting your steer dual registered. Just recently, we started papering half blood bulls in the states in the charolais breed. its a little tricky how it all works, when you breed a half blood to another half blood. But papers are available. Not sure where you are from, but I know some states require you to have Char steers papered , others don't. I cvan tell you if you want to show him at charolais Junior nationals, you won't need papers, just needs to look kinda like a charolais. Ask the breeder you purchased the steer from to get you papers.
