    Do you need to be quality assured for pedigree cattle.
    I know nothing about them. do you need to register them and can they be sold at market like normal or are their special sales for these.
    Are there more problems with them because theyre pedigree.

    If they are not already registered they are not pedigree cattle.
    If you register their offspring, it will enhance their value

    No, because pedigree cattle don't know they are pedigree cattle.
    They just have paperwork that documents their ancestry, that's all.
    However, with practice, you can become as neurotic as most pedigree breeders and convince yourself that they are a unique and fragile thing that needs all kinds of pampering exotic supplements and enormous amounts of concentrate feed (while trying to sell overpriced bulls to people who will put them out on the side of a hill)

    we have pedigree angus and pedigree friesian... the friesians are registered at birth on the cmms system you get a pedigree cert in the post 2 weeks later, it costs €13 per calf- i only register the females. The angus cost €35 and we have to send the paper work to the aberdeen angus society as there is no agreement between icbf and them to do the pedigree registrations....
