Calf Application Page
Each month the preprinted application is sent from the DRPC to the dairy producer. The dairy producer needs to complete the identification name, hair color, if born twin, the sex of the other twin. Information on ET calves needs to be added as well. Color diagrams are added unless the herd owner is enrolled in one of the Alternative ID options.
TimeSaver
Each month the DRPC* sends the Holstein Association calf information. The
Association processes the information and then sends the report to the producer.
The breeder double-checks the report, corrects any errors, signs and returns
it to the Holstein Association. The Association then produces the registration
certificate and mails it to the breeder. This process can be used with any
photos, sketches, or Alternative ID options.
*Currently available for producers who process records through AgSource
in Wisconsin, Dairy Records Management Systems-Raleigh and Agritech in California.
Identification by phone
Members can phone in their registry applications by calling the Holstein
Association's Customer Service unit. If the member has all of the necessary
information, an identification number can be assigned to the animal during
the same phone call. A completed application will be produced and sent
to the owner for signature and color markings, after which a certificate
will be issued. If the member is on Tag ID, Tag 'N Tattoo or Tag 'N Freezebrand,
a certificate can be produced immediately. There is a $1 surcharge for
this service.
