Please Note: When you recieve your tags, please match up the heard number on the tag to the herd number on the bull for application. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions.
Starting with 2010 Born Bulls, if a bull is registered in the birth year, the breeder may purchase an EID tag at the time of registration.
Starting April 1st, for 2010 bulls that have been registered in 2010 an EID tag may be purchased for the bull by July 31st, 2011.
If an EID tag is requested from the ABBI office by the deadline for 2010 bulls or at the time of birth year registration for 2011 and beyond, age certification will not be required. If a 2011 born bull has been registered prior to April 1st, 2011, the EID tag must also be requested by July 31st, 2011.
Tags may be ordered on-line with a credit card by logging into your members area, or you may send in an order form to the office.
Below is a guide to assist you with the transition to the new process.
