This week we’re back in the Braford Office talking about a key office process that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.......

Today's Topic 🥁
𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨

When submitting your calf registrations, it’s important that all required fields are completed and the necessary documentation is provided. This helps ensure a seamless registration process, which is especially important if you have animals heading to an upcoming show or sale and need their registrations processed in time.

Because requirements can vary depending on how the calf was bred, we’ve put together a few quick checkpoints to help avoid delays and get those calves registered as quickly as possible.

📋 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬

For natural calves, the requirements are generally straightforward. However, parentage ownership is where things can sometimes cause delays.

Things to check:
✔️Confirm the animal has been transferred into your ownership, the sire and dam will need to be in your ownership at the time of conception or birth, if not, follow up that transfer with the previous owner.
✔️ Leasing a sire from a neighbour or fellow breeder? No problem, you will simply need to complete a Sire Authorisation Certificate, signed by the bull’s owner. Submit this form along with your calf registrations and the process should run smoothly.

🧬 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐲𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬

The process is very similar, but there are a few additional pieces of information required.

✔️ AI calves – An AI Authorisation Certificate must be supplied
✔️ Embryo calves – The same authorisation form can be used for embryo matings

Simply include the completed forms when submitting your calf registrations and you’ll be good to go.

💡Top Tip
You can find the Sire Authorisation form and AI Authorisation form on the Braford website.

Submitting complete and accurate information helps the office process registrations quickly and efficiently, meaning your animals are registered and ready when you need them.

If you’re ever unsure about what documentation is required, feel free to reach out to the Braford Office, we’re always happy to help.

This weeks RaynerAg Bull of the week comes from Strathgyle Brafords in Qld. This is Strathgyle Lieutenant, a very well muscled and balanced 24mth old bull. The volume of muscle this bull has really appeals, without going into extremes.
