Breed Codes
Breed codes are 4 digits or letters, and are determined in the following manner:
The first two letters of the calf represent the sire's breed(s), the second two letters of the calf
represents the dam's breed(s). If the parents of the calf are composed of more than two breeds,
use the first letter of each of the grandparents to represent the breeds in the calf.
