REGISTRATION & TRANSFER PROCEDURES
1. All calves to be registered should be branded or tattooed with an identification number in addition to other brands (ownership, year no. brands) . This identification number will be used on all Society forms, certificates, etc. to identify this animal.
2. When a member wishes to register his cattle, it is necessary to complete (in triplicate with the carbon paper provided) an application for registration form giving full details of all animals to be registered. This can be done at any age, however, different fees apply after 2 years of age (see List of Fees). Either the white copy or the yellow copy (or both) are then forwarded to the Society together with the relevant fees, and the Secretary will process these registrations. Registration certificates will be forwarded upon completion.
3. The same forms are used for Bulls, Females or Foundation Females.
4. Please be sure to include all animal information - especially the names and registration numbers of sires and dams. If using Charolais or Brahman sires and dams, it is necessary to forward a photocopy of these animals’ registration certificates with your application. This only has to be done once and these pedigrees are kept in your file.
5. All Brahman and Charolais registered females used as dams should be Foundation registered with the Charbray Society. This is done by simply forwarding a photocopy of their relevant Brahman or Charolais registration certificates to the Secretary and requesting that they be Foundation registered. This way, their pedigrees are on file in the office.
6. Please ensure the “Register” column on the far right hand side of the form is completed - “Y” ( for yes) to register, “N” (for no) not to register, “D” (for defer) if animal to be deferred.
7. In the case of Deferred animals, a fee is paid and the Secretary completes a Deferral form which is returned to the breeder with the animal details on same. If and when the breeder wishes to register this animal in future, he signs the deferral form and returns same to the Secretary. Upon receipt of this, the registration fee depends on the age of the animal. (A discount is given - full details of this under FEES ).
8. When registering animals produced by A.I. or E.T (Artificial Insemination or Embryo Transfer), please write this abbreviation next to the animal name. A fee for artificial breeding is charged when the animal is registered. (See FEES for this information).
9. When a registered animal is sold, and the purchaser requires the registration certificate transferred to his ownership, the breeder must forward to the Secretary the registration certificate for the animal together with a completed Certificate of Transfer form. This transfer is then processed by the office and the amended Registration Certificate is forwarded to the purchaser. Please note: Late Transfer Fees apply if these are not attended to within 60 days of the date of sale.

HERD BOOK REGISTRATION
REGISTRATION OF FOUNDATION DAMS
There are three different types of FOUNDATION REGISTERED DAMS able to be registered with the Charbray Society of Australia Ltd:
1. REGISTERED BRAHMAN FEMALES AND REGISTERED CHAROLAIS FEMALES (EACH INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED WITH THE RELEVANT BRAHMAN OR CHAROLAIS BREED SOCIETY) are registered with the Charbray Society as Foundation Registered Dams, however, their progeny, both bulls and heifers by either REGISTERED CHARBRAY, CHAROLAIS OR BRAHMAN BULLS (whichever is relevant as per previous page) may be registered in the Herd Book of the Charbray Society provided they conform with section 2 (i) (a) of the Regulations.
2. PUREBRED unregistered Bos indicus, Charolais and Charbray females (whose sire and dam is not recorded) may at the breeder’s expense, be inspected by a Charbray Society appointed inspector, and if passed, may be registered as 1st generation Foundation Dams. These females must be either branded or tattooed with an identification number. Their female progeny shall remain in the Foundation Register for a further generation even though they may conform with section 2Ii) (a) of the Regulations. (There is no diagram for this section - however, the second diagram line would apply to their heifer progeny)
3. FEMALES which are the progeny of a registered Charolais, Brahman or Charbray bull and an unregistered female may be registered as Foundation Registered Dams, however only their heifer calves can be registered in a second generation of the Foundation Register. Their bull calves can only be sold commercially. When a 2nd generation Foundation Registered female is then mated to a registered bull (Brahman, Charolais or Charbray) - both the bull and heifer calves can be registered in the Herd Book of the Society (provided their content is correct)
