The Board discussed the need for AIand ET certificates when the newregistry system is in place.
The Board approved to discontinueissuing ET certificates. The $5 ETcertificate fee will be added to theET registration fee. This motion alsoapproved donor cows on WHRinventories that are paid in full, tohave credit to register 1(one) naturalcalf given to the first ET calfregistered from said Donor cow. Theadditional ET fees will still be due onsaid calf. If Donor has a natural calfborn later in same year of WHRinventory, the first ET calf will becharged full value less ET fees andnatural calf will be registered free forWHR fees. The motion alsoincluded discontinuing AIcertificates at the option of the AIsires owners. If the AI sire’s ownerdecides to make a bull a non-certificate bull, the bull may never bere-designated as a certificate bull.Owners that decide to continueusing AI certificates may do so; thefee for AI certificates to be issued byASA to AI sires’ owners will be $20.There will be no additional fees toregister an AI calf.

The first three Heifer Calves sired by BOLD to be offered by Cagwin Farms at public auction.
It has been impressive to watch these three develop into elite youngfemales. All three come from great cow families and will surely be thetype and kind that will compete in the show ring. More importantly, they
will be a great addition to any breeding program as mature cows of donor quality.

WHR (Whole Herd Reporting)Restructure Rules and Fee Changes
A committee of three ASA members (2 WHR and 1 TOC) and three Board of Directors was formed last fall to look atrestructuring the WHR program. This group met a number of times, compared ASA to other breeds structures and fees, lookedinto needed revenue related to changes, and worked at streamlining the price sheet for ASA. This group spent many hoursreviewing many possible options. They felt it important to try and service both WHR and TOC at the present time, whileunderstanding the need for more performance data. They felt it was important to give discounts to members that paid promptly;additionally they saw the importance of getting the magazine to every member for more communication between ASA and itsmembership.
The Shorthorn breed is now on the cutting edge of technology for herd management and multiple other options availablethrough the new registry that went live July 1. The need to purchase an outside herd management system no longer exists as wehave made sure to have it included with your membership. You can now manage your cow herd within the registry which meansentering data only once, therefore making registrations and transfers much easier to complete without having to rely oninformation from paper notes or other software systems. Inputting performance weights as a group can be done all at once. Nomore entering them one at a time. The ease of putting in any activity has become more efficient through the new registry. Yes, thishas an expense but, the ASA Board felt the advantages to its membership and breeders across the breed made it worth the addedcosts. Many other breeds are moving to the Digital Beef registry system and it’s nice to be on the forefront of this movement.

Inventory and full payment is due before March 1 of calendar year in which the WHR assessment is due.
a. The WHR Breeder has to turn in their inventory before the invoice for the total herd assessment is created at ASA.
3. The Inventory the WHR Breeder turned into ASA for invoicing should include all females that are due to calve during the calendar year in which the assessment is paid.

b. Any young female that will not calve in the calendar year and the WHR Breeder marks as “too young to breed” will not be charged an assessment fee for that year, it will remain active and can be added the next year with no penalty.
c. A reactivation enrollment fee will be charged for females removed from an inventory and are needed to be re-enrolledin a breeder’s inventory. Example: (assessment fee paid in 2013 not paid in 2014 and re-enrolled in 2015 would be charged a fee of $50.00)
4. The resulting calf from an enrolled female in WHR is allowed to be registered for free if the registration is completedbefore the calf is 12 months old.
5. Donor cows that are enrolled on a WHR inventory will be given either a free registration on their natural calf or ½ price of a regular registration fee on an ET calf, whichever is recorded first in the calendar year.

(Breeders should note when a cow is transferred and or calf registered the waived fees for that female may have been used previously to entering thepurchasers inventory.)
14.WHR breeders can add a purchased animal (from TOC Breeder) to their WHR inventory for the same per cow assessment fee they initially paid on their WHR inventory for that calendar year.
