birth registration is more expensive for Blues but we will carry on registering them as we do get asked if they are pedigree or not when selling them also there is TB comp to consider if/when we get unlucky
I've never understood the logic behind pedigree animals having a higher compensation value. My own commercial stock now have a few generations of ancestors, including their sires, at least as accurate as many so-called pedigree stock.
And I certainly wouldn't value my Limousin cross cows any lower than, say, pedigree Shorthorn, Angus, Luing, Salers, Herefords etc.
And if pedigree animals are so valuable, their owners must have made enough in the past to see them through a wipe-out compared to someone with commercial stock.
Just making a point. Don't want to start a heated discussion.
