ASA Rule Change

We need to keep our integrity as Simmental Breeders. Say no to 3/8

Our breed goal should be to compete with Angus and Hereford in the marketplace and we are moving our percentage lower to be more like Maine’s and Chi’s. There should be incentive to own both registered makes AND females to be a Simmental breeder. Instead we keep lowering the percentage.

Please leave system the way it is

This is crazy. We raise simmental not mut and Jeff junk

I say keep it at 50%. Keep our breed strong and Simmental focused!

We don’t need to let 3/8 in breed either 50 or higher.

Simmental should been 50% or more to show in Any PTP shows ! It’s hard enough to get America cattle registered in the Canadian herd Book! We do not need it to be any harder! Dakota Townsend I am a member of both the ASA and the CSA

We are not a me too breed, lets keep some integrity within our organization.

keep it 50 percent

Leave it at 50%.

Foundations needs to be kept at 50%. 3/8ths is not true Simmental.

Let’s keep the Simmental the main part of the equation especially in the show ring

No!

I do not feel allowing cattle with a less than 50% simmental genetic makeup need to be shown in sim% classes.

Needs to remain as is

I vote no!

No to the new ruling for 3/8x5/8

I think the the minimal requirement should be 50% Simmental to be considered a percentage Simmetals. I think that less then that there is going to be a lot of crossbred that will try and show as a Simmetal.

Keep the Simmental genetics at the heart of the show. We do not need be a crossbred show! We need to show off the Simmental genetics not another breeds.

I feel that the 3/8 rule is a slap in the face to Simmental breeders since it will be promoting cattle that are a majority another breed or a mix of other breeds. The Simmental and % Simmental classes should promote Simmentals.
