Be Sure to Transfer Papers
|
| |
As sales begin to wrap up this season be sure to transfer the animal's papers to the respective buyers. Transferring ownership is a simple process that is free of charge and provides several benefits to your commercial customers. The genetic information that is provided to the customers once the transfer is made will assist them in making mating decisions and enable them to highlight the strengths of their own cowherds.
When buyers provide complete contact information AGA marketing staff will be able to assist them with not only breeding decisions but marketing their calves.

New DNA Testing Requirements for Natural Service Sires of 2016 Born Calves
|
| |
According to a new rule passed by the AGA Board of Directors in August 2014, all pasture sires used in the 2015 breeding season are now required to have a Genomic Option #2 (GGP-LD) test and the associated Genomic-Enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) in order for their 2016 born calves to be recorded in the AGA Herdbook.
Start planning ahead and DNA testing your bulls now so that recording 2016 calves will not be held up by this requirement.
Refer to the View of the Numbers article in the March 2015 Gelbvieh World for an in-depth look at the requirements. If you have questions regarding this requirement please contact Kari White or Kelli Retallick at 303-465-2333.
