TRANSFERS
Animal registration transfers add value and are easy
to complete with the NALF-DigitalBeef platform.
It’s been proven that across the country and around the
globe buyers are willing to pay more for registered Limousin
and Lim-Flex® cattle. Registration papers and accompanying
performance records provide breeders and buyers alike with
valuable information on the pedigree,
performance, and EPDs of an animal.
The professional breeder
will provide this
information to the
buyer through the
transfer of registration
papers. This allows the
new owner to monitor
the genetics of his herd
to aid in selection. Pedigree
for parentage and performance
allows for the documentation of
offspring and performance to feed
yards and other potential buyers.
Do it right. Help your buyers document
their genetics by transferring
registration paper. It’s easy.

Registrations Add
Value to Seedstock
Purchases
Communicating seedstock ownership
transfers sets the stage for satisfying
relationships between commercial
cattle producers and their genetic
suppliers. Transferred registration
certificates and performance records
authenticate pedigree, performance and
genetic information. Those documents
communicate genetic merit and provide
essential information for maximizing
returns from seedstock investments.
It pays to seal the deal by requesting
transfers. Profitable calf crops are the
result of known, superior genetics
because reputation is important to
buyers looking for quality feeder
calves and replacement females.
Receiving your animals’ registration
papers solidifies your reputation as a
professional cattle producer who is
committed to genetic improvement.
There is no better way to document
superior genetics than to buy
registered seedstock and officially
transfer their ownership records.
Only registered seedstock animals
(whether fullbloods, purebreds or
hybrids) have reliable genetic and
performance information available
from their registry organizations. Only
registered seedstock have pedigree
information officially documented
to help manage inbreeding, genetic
conditions, and hybrid vigor (heterosis).
Mark Anderson, executive director
at NALF, explains one of the
reasons why that is significant.

sires are retained and bred, documented
