    The Herdbook register provides seedstock registration and recording by the Charolais Society of Australia . The Herdbook enables members to record pedigree and performance information. In addition, cattle are eligible for inclusion in GROUP BREEDPLAN.

    All Full Members of the Society are eligible to record animals in the Herdbook and participate in GROUP BREEDPLAN. The pedigree and performance information provided by breeders is used to calculate Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) for a range of growth, fertility and carcase traits. Pedigree links between herds enable the calculation of EBVs that can be used for across-herd comparisons. EBVs can be used to make more informed mating and culling decisions to improve herd productivity and to target specific market requirements.

    For details on the Society Regulations for registering in the Herdbook see

    Once an animals Dam has had the yearly HMF (Herd Maintenance Fee) paid, registration for the calf for that year is at no charge.

    Animals submitted for registration (or recording) must be lodged via:

    • C1 Form, or
    • Electronically, either through the Web site Online Registration facility, or by emailing a batch file from your on farm computer software.

    While animals must be tattooed within 90 days of birth, they can be registered within 12 months from the date of birth. Late fees apply for registrations after this 12 month period.

    For further information on the Herdbook, contact Society.
