AI Sires used “out of herd” and all Donor Dams must be DNA tested before calves can be registered. AICA recommends collecting DNA samples during the donor’s initial flush. Check the animal’s record to make sure the DNA work has been done before submitting registration papers. DNA kits are specific to the animal being tested. Contact Marilou Wegner to request a kit.

AICA rules require signatures on bulls and dams you do not own. Signatures can be submitted online, fax, mail or e-mail.
FIELD STAFF
Sales of Bred Females
Females sold bred must have all breeding information included to complete the transfer. Service date and appropriate sire signatures are necessary. Advertising Deadline
The deadline to place advertising in the December 2016 Charolais Journal is October 25. Contact your field representative about these and other advertising opportunities. Link Your Herd Management Package to AICA
AICA has launched a new service that provides the framework to allow on-farm herd management computer software to exchange data with the AICA office. By using this service, breeders can avoid entering data in to both their local software and AICA’s online system. The software package would send AICA the data. If you wish to take advantage of this new service, ask your software vendor to contact AICA.
