[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1510842, member: 968"] Well - yes and no. Normally, I do not. ASA is offering a super cheap price to breeders if they commit to do their whole herd, with an additional discount if you supply weights, and or frame score, and or BCS. Well, I do weights, FS & BCS anyway, so it was a no brainer to do it. I just got the Parentage DNA Report yesterday, but this was a full 50K DNA and I had them test for Homo Black & Homo polled on a couple. This test is like knowing "15 CE scores", 20 BWs, 22 WWs, and 25 Stay records" on each of my own cows for their EPD's. Cost $15/hd Interesting, out of 50 head, only 1 did not DNA back to the sire. It was a purchased animal. ASA checked all the sires used by the other farm the year she was born and came up with her matched sire. But, all of mine were accurate - woohoo! [/QUOTE]
