When we look at the bovine industry, they have many breeds. They collect them and manage them all the way through from Shorthorns to Herefords and Friesians and they do an excellent job regarding controlling, monitoring and understanding the different breeds. The database is very important. One entity having control of the database would be controversial but appropriate in the sense that we would have traceability all the way through.
