Under New European Legislation, there can be no cut off point after which animals cannot be registered. Therefore animals of any age can be registered. In view of this Council has agreed the following LATE REGISTRATION Rules / Costs.
Late Registration Fees / Procedure: All calves must be registered within 30 days of birth to fall under the normal registration fee. However calves can be registered up to 150 days after the standard 30 days (i.e. 6 months old) through Animal Events, with the following fees applying:
- 31 - 60 Days of Age +€15
- 61 - 90 Days of Age +€30
- 91 - 180 Days of Age +€2 per Day up to €300 + DNA at owners expense
Members wishing to register animals over 180 days of age (i.e. 6 months) must apply to the Society Office for Council attention. The fee for all animals over 180 days of age is €500 + DNA (€40) of animal against its sire, at owner’s expense.
If the Member applying to register an animal is other than the breeder, then the registration application must be accompanied by a letter of consent from the original breeder and forwarded to the Society Office with registration application.
De-registration: A breeder may choose to deregister a heifer under two years. Should a breeder or subsequent owner choose to reregister the heifer at a later date, the heifer may be registered under the same conditions as a late registration i.e. incur a late registration fee and must be DNA typed at the breeder/owners expense, €40.00.
If the Member applying to re-register an animal is other than the breeder, then the re-registration application must be accompanied by a letter of consent from the original breeder and forwarded to the Society Office for Council attention.
A DNA Sample is require to be processed through Wetherby's (at the expense of the Breeder seeking registration) on all new SIRE'S entering into the Herdbook.
- Calves with gestation lengths of over 300 days will have to be DNA typed at the breeder's expense.
