American Simmental Association

Total Herd Enrollment Requirements

Total Herd Enrollment (THE) is a cow inventory-based program. Participation in the program requires an inventory of all your Simmental registered cows that is updated yearly.

 

 

ENROLLMENT DEADLINES

Spring Herds (dams that will calve between Jan 1 – June 30, 2012)
Enrollment Time: Oct 15 – Dec 15, 2011
To meet compliance deadline 2011 born calves will need to be reported to ASA by December 15, 2011.

Fall Herds (dams that will calve between July 1 - Dec 31, 2011)
Enrollment Time: Apr 15 - June 15, 2011
To meet compliance deadline 2009 born calves will need to be reported to ASA by June 15, 2010.
*If you miss the Dec. 15, 2010 deadline and were enrolled for Spring 2010:

All of your dams on the preliminary inventory generated by ASA will be enrolled in Option A at $16.00 each.

Late Enrollment

Members enrolled in THE that miss the enrollment deadline will have all of the dams listed on the preliminary inventory generated by ASA enrolled in Option A at $16.00 each.

Members will then have 30 days (February 1 for Spring herds, August 1 for Fall herds) to make adjustments to their inventory (the same way as enrolling) including a choice to change from Option A to Option B or C. (THE fees will be adjusted if you change to Option B or C within the 30 days).

Note: If adjustments are not made within 30 days (February 1 or August 1), your preliminary inventory will be accepted as is (including enrolled in Option A, regardless of previous year’s option). There is a $1.00 late-enrollment fee that will not be refunded.

Highlights:

  • All Simmental or Simbrah registered cows must be enrolled in SAME option
  • Commercial cows and cows of other breeds can be enrolled in either option
  • Members can have all ASA registered cows in TR and non-ASA registered cows in SR
  • Enrolling a cow in THE does NOT register the cow with ASA
