PARENTAGE CHECKS
If breeders have doubts over the pargentage of their pedigree calves they should carry out DNA Checks to verify the parentage.  A situation has arisen, in another beef society, where a well used bull has been proved to have been sired by a bull different to the one registered on the pedigree.
REMEMBER, THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE BREEDER.
