We encourage you to update your Spring Inventory for the 2009 calving season, on-line under Member Data - REDS. In the past, we have mailed the paper report to all members with active animals on the Spring Inventory. We will no longer mail inventories to all members. If you would like the report mailed to you, please let us know as soon as possible.

Inventories should be updated no later than February 8, 2009.

To Do Check List:

  • Inventory should include females calving Jan. 1 - June 30.
  • Add any animals not found on the inventory, which will be calving with your Spring herd.
  • Mark disposal codes for animals that have been disposed.
  • Indicate any changes to calving season - Spring to Fall.
  • Have questions or need assistance, contact the Registration Dept
  • The inventory is used to determine your Spring Herd Assessments for 2009 which will be billed in July. Only animals of assessment age (females 16 mos. , bulls 30-mos.) are billed.
