As a seller of U.S. Registered Holsteins®, one of your responsibilities is to file a completed transfer application with Holstein Association USA for each animal sold. Your customers expect you to supply them with high quality genetics. With a Holstein Association USA registration certificate confirming the transfer, they can count on it.
 |
The animal's value to the new owner is increased by providing important management information. |
|
A free updated registration certificate is sent to the new owner for transfers submitted online.
|
|
A free three-generation pedigree with each regular transfer provides the new owner with current
performance information. |
|
Knowledge of the animal's lineage helps to manage inbreeding and genetic recessives. |
All are important tools to maximize your profits and the buyer's satisfaction. Filing a transfer is easy - simply fill out a paper transfer application, file a transfer online or call Customer Service at 800.952.5200.
