Will try to get another year finished soon. This covers 3070 ADCA registrations to 34200 which goes into Jan 2014. I am uploading the total sheet. I have each of the 35 work sheets and the previous total sheet along with this current one in PDF form and will add them to the DexterCattleAmericanLegacy.info website so if there are doubters they can go through them one by one. It is my observation the stats are increasingly trending against the traditional bloodlines and the modern horned are fairing as poorly. The horned cattle descending from the two registered polled bulls ( there are only a few animals from Allie's Fling), are just shy of 34% of all registrations and the polled animals are just over 38%. The total percentage of animals that descend from the one bull, (remember this bull is not a purebred bull) is a touch over 72 % of all Dexters registered in ADCA. This was at the beginning of 2014. 15 per cent of the animals being registered were modern horned, and 12.61% were Traditional ( 5 of the total being Legacy).
Here is the scary stat > > > 52 per cent of all bulls being registered are polled. The most confusing stat for me is that nearly 34 percent of all registrations are horned cattle descending from the imported non-purebred polled bloodlines and 30 percent of the bulls are horned descending from the same imported polled lines. Does this make sense? What are these breeders thinking? Why are they making horned cattle from a non-purebred bull when they could be helping to preserve horned lines? Then when you add the percentage of the horned bulls descending from the polled animals ( 29.78%) to the polled bulls (52.11%) we have 82 per cent of all bulls being registered descending from a non-purebred bull. There is only one answer for this travesty. Breeders do not know. The don't understand. The registration paper in their hand is giving them a false impression.
This is where leadership fails the Dexter breed. They have let this runaway train barrel through the breed without a single word of caution, concern, or guidance to the membership.
