Genebo,
You're the one making claims that just don't wash well. Claiming that Ms. Fermoy is 100% American with no English imports is just plain wrong, and it doesn't take much effort to discover that. Your statements about registered upgrades in England are also wrong -- and it doesn't take much effort to check that either.
The Dexter Cattle Society in the U.K. had an Appendix registry and systematically upgraded into their main pedigree registry for decades. The DCS Herd Book was closed in 1922 to all animals wishing to gain full registration by inspection. At that time, the Appendix (Grading) Register was opened, for females only, by breeding and after inspection. In 1938 there were substantial changes made to the DCS rules, but they still had an Appendix Registry and this is how it worked:
1. A Dexter Cow or Heifer was eligible for entry in Class A of the Appendix, provided that it was certified as being of sufficiently good conformation and type, by an inspector appointed by the Dexter Cattle Society. A cow or heifer accepted for Class A was to be numbered with an "A" prefix.
2. The female progeny of a Class A Cow by a fully registered Dexter bull, having four or more registered crosses, to be eligible for entry in Class B of the Appendix was to be numbered with a "B" prefix.
3. The female progeny of a Class B Cow by a fully registered Dexter bull,having four or more registered crosses, to be eligible for entry in Class C of the Appendix was to be numbered with a "C" prefix.
4. The female progeny of a Class C Cow by a fully registered Dexter bull, having four or more registered crosses, to be eligible for entry in the Herd Book proper.
Please check your facts before making statements about the English imports into this country. The information you are giving is inaccurate and misleading.
