Industry/CSA News

Message on Upgrading Process

A recent CSA Board of Directors decision has resulted in policy that it is the responsibility of the importer/purchaser to provide documentation to prove the animal meets the requirements of the CSA herd book. This documentation must include the official Simmental fraction (e.g. 28/32, 30/32, 32/32) and applies to all imported animals . In particular, producers purchasing bulls from the United States should be aware of differences that exist between Canada and the United States in the percentage of Simmental required to qualify for purebred status. The Canadian Simmental Association requires a male to be 30/32 Simmental to reach purebred status while the American Simmental Association accepts males who are 28/32 Simmental as purebred. It is the responsibility of the importer/purchaser to ensure that these bulls meet the requirement of being 30/32 Simmental if they wish to register that animal in the Canadian Simmental herd book as a purebred.

Please refer to the CSA upgrading table on page 34 of the March 2008 issue of Simmental Country or click here for further details.
