REGISTRATIONS
NEW DNA TESTING PROGRAMS AVAILABLE!
The TLBAA Board of Directors recently approved a completely voluntary DNA Parent Verification testing program for our breeders. This is separate from the already established AI Herd Sire Certification program where parent verification with DNA testing is mandatory.
To verify parentage of an animal the animal in question tail hairs must be pulled and DNA tested and then their DNA markers can be compared to the sire and dam's DNA markers. If sire and dam have not been tested and a case number established with their DNA Markers to use in the comparison, then they also must have their tail hairs pulled and their DNA compaired to the animal in question. Once parentage has been verified through this DNA testing process, if the animal in question is already registered, then a new registration certificate will be issued with the "PARENTAGE VERIFIED WITH DNA" stamp/logo on it. If not registered, then the Parentage Verified with DNA stamp/logo will appear on its registration certifice when registered. If sire and dam have already been DNA tested and a case number exists, then they will not have to be tested. Each DNA test costs $40.00 and if sire and dam already tested with a case file, then there is no charge for them, only the animal in question.
Some of our breeders are having their animals DNA tested without parent verification, just to have their DNA Case number on file should questions arise or should they decide to have their entire herd eventually parent verified.
Forms for Parent Verification and DNA Markers Only are attached. Once these forms are received at the office then the "DNA Tail Hair Kit Forms" will be generated and sent to you with an instruction sheet. DO NOT MAIL TAIL HAIRS TO THE TLBAA OFFICE, THEY MUST GO TO UC DAVIS IN CALIFORNIA PER THE INSTRUCTION SHEET.
Any question please contact Rick at the TLBAA office!…. 817-625-6241!

Glenn Selk explains why when harvesting nitrate-prone crops, it’s not time of day that matters, rather it’s soil nutrition that impacts forage quality.
