British
White Cattle Association Rules pertaining to Herd Names, Herd Prefix/Letters and
Tattoo. 1.
All members of the BWCAA and individuals or entities that want to
register British White Cattle as non members, except Associate Members, must
apply for and be assigned a Herd Prefix consisting of two to four letters of the
alphabet. These herd letters will be recorded and reserved for the exclusive use
of the owner and the same set of letters may not ever be assigned to another
BWCAA member or breeder of British White Cattle. 2.
It is an official requirement to register cattle with the BWCAA that the
Herd Prefix be a part of the
animal’s permanent tattoo.
Each
animal’s permanent tattoo is to be placed in at least one ear and to
include; The breeders Herd Prefix, a serial number and year code. An
example of a tattoo for an animal born in ABC herd in 1998 would
be: ABC 10H. ABC is the herd prefix, 10 is the serial number and H is the
code letter for 1998. 3.
All members of the BWCAA and individuals or entities that want to
register British White Cattle as non members, except Associate Members, must
apply for and be assigned a Herd Name. This Herd Name will be recorded and
reserved for the exclusive use of it’s owner and it may not ever be assigned
to another BWCAA member or breeder of British White Cattle. Example with
the herd name being Woodbastwick. This herd name would be used as the first part
of each animal’s name when it is registered as in “Woodbastwick Marble”.
When filling out the application for registration the “Woodbastwick” part of
the name would not have to be written in, it will automatically be included by
our new computer system and be printed on the pedigree certificate. Exception:
If the Herd Name and Herd Prefix are the same then the computer does not print
the Herd Name as part of the animal’s name. However if there are requests for
the Herd Name and Herd Prefix to be the same we can still handle it by adding a
period to the Herd Name as (MEH.) for the Herd Name and (MEH) for Herd Prefix. The
maximum digits we have available is 30 for the Herd Name and another 30 for the
animal’s name but if the total of the two exceed 35 digits a part of the name
is printed over a part of the first Herd Sires Pedigree. We get a more tidy
looking certificate if the total digits are kept to 35 or less. Please
enter your first three choices below, save a copy for your records and forward
to the office. Herd Prefix Letters
