Aberdeen-Angus Pedigrees

[Ozraptor]

Hi folks

Firstly, please accept my congratulations on an extremely interesting and beneficial site.  I found you by going through the access logs for a website I administer on behalf of some Australian cattle breeders who are line-breeding back to a highly efficient Angus cow - Erica 843.

My reason for posting this note is to make contact with anyone who has an interest in Aberdeen Angus pedigrees.  I (in a moment of weakness) agreed to put the entire pedigree of one of their bulls online.  http://linebrederica.com/midnight.html refers

Thanks In Anticipation

(welcome) Ozraptor!

wow, that is an undertaking! We have a lot of pedigree experts here both in the Maine-Anjou & Shorthorn. Also think there are a few Angus experts.
Let us know what you need & we'll see what we can do to help!

(welcome)  Welcome to the board Ozraptor!    Some of us need further Angus education ....beyond Traveler, Rito, Emulation, Freedom, etc.....

I think this will be very interesting and a great opportunity!!

Hi folks

thanks for your comments and the opportunity for dialogue.  I know very little about the North American side of the Angus breed and am keen to learn more. 

The  animal we are publishing the pedigree of involves data from 6angus society herdbooks and we are certainly filling a lot of the gaps.  The biggest gaps still remaining are on the Canadian side - with the Glencarnock Stud from Brandon, Manitoba (I think)

Viz Angus education, the most of the data we have collected relates to the Scottish dam lines from Ballindalloch and Harvieston.

Just for your interest - Erison of Harviestoun - responsible for carrying on the Erica-Angus muscling traits has offspring in the US (via Wye plantation) and the Scottish and Australian herdbooks.

Regards

Ozraptor (literally translated would mean Australian hawk (eagle, pick your raptor)...the Advantage Cattle message board appears to be highly dedicated to Angus breeders across the world - there are lots of knowledgable people from all across the US, Canada and yes Oz that talk Angus genetics all the time, not that we aren't a nice bunch - but these are the Angus dudes! You might want to check it out....

Hi greed-starred dragon lady - thank you for your advice - I will check it out

An Ozraptor, btw, is a mid-Jurassic Australian dinosaur (which should answer Red's Q above as well.  Have a great weekend all

I look forward to seeing your very informative posts. Oz, are you familiar with Emulous bloodlines in the USA? I have a good friend who breeds them, culls hard, and makes a 300-head cow herd work hard while facing environmental challenges. Not a pet in the bunch. His name is James F Roberts, and his cattle are registered with the AAA with the JFR prefix, or suffix ( I can't remember which).

Welcome aboard.

Have you heard of a cow called Dixie Erica ??  Dixie Cattle Company is about 12 miles from where I live.

cool and to think I though you were a down under bird of prey! ;D (Should we nick name you Dino?)  I am not totally sure I understand the whole deal, but that will come. I have heard that the temperament in the old line Emulous breeding is not for the faint of heart......any comments?

Hi GB - Thanks for the leads ;-)

By Dixie Erica I presume you are referring to the 1951 model? (I saw over 1000 on the AAA database  ;D )

Emulous in new as well - Should I be looking at the 1927 animal? 1966? or later

James' cattle are bred from the Corbitt's cattle  from Oklahoma. All of 'em go back to Emulous Bob

Thanks for the lead GB - When I get a chance I will plug them into the database and get an idea of their Erica 843 relationships.

Thanks again all!!
