REGISTRAR’S LETTER

 

Hello fellow AMZA Members,

This is the first letter from your AMZA Registrar for the NADU-ZEBU Journal. I plan to give you an update on what is going on with the registry in each future issue.

 

First, I would like to let you know that I am available to anyone having questions on registering their animals or herd name. You can reach me by phone or email and I am happy to hear from you.

 

My topic for this issue is registering animals that are registered with another organization or animals that are not currently registered.

 

Any Zebu registered with the IMZA can be registered with the AMZA with just a copy of their IMZA certificate (both sides if there is information on the back). The only information that we use that IMZA does not is color and horns. Somewhere on the copy of the certificate being sent, you will need to write their color and whether they are horned, dehorned or naturally polled. That is all I need and they can be registered at the normal registration rates, $25 for a bull or cow and $10 for a steer.

 

We have implemented a AMZA Member “hardship” registration for animals that are obviously miniature ZEBU but papers have been lost or not kept up with any registry. For these animals we require:

  1. Three photos. One photo from the front, one from each side. Photos can be sent via regular U.S.Mail or email
  2. Height (must be under 42 inches)
  3. Application for registration with as much information filled out as possible.

This information needs to be submitted to David Millison, AMZA President. He will then review the photos and other information with a Committee of AMZA Board members and determine eligibility. The fee for registering animals accepted under this policy is $100 for each animal. Registered animals are mostly Foundation Pure, but in these “hardship” cases we register the first generation as “Native on Appearance”. Offspring from these animals can then be registered as “Foundation Pure” for the normal registration rates. If for some reason, your animal is not accepted, your registration fee is refunded in full. Again, if you have any questions on this type of registration, don’t hesitate to contact either me or David.

 

As Registrar, I look forward to helping you with any of your future registration needs.
