NEW Whole Herd Grade Up Promotion

To enable new members of Holstein UK to grade up their herds, Holstein UK are offering Whole Herd Grade Up’s from as little as £1.50 per head, with no additional charges for animals aged 60 days and over**.

A Whole Herd Grade Up enables members with non-pedigree animals to start the process to become pedigree and it only takes three generations. To be eligible for the promotional prices, new members must have a new prefix and not have registered animals previously. This offer is also open to existing members who have not registered any animals over the past ten years. Learn more

Existing members who make a successful referral are eligible for a £100 credit to their account*.

The Grade Up Process

1. Call Membership Services on 01923 695200 to book an appointment for a Holstein UK Field Officer to call you or visit your farm to register your herd.
2. They will then review your herd, discuss its history and collect data on each cow.
3. A herd report will then be provided, a quotation supplied and a summary of additional services made available as part of Holstein UK membership.

 

Benefits of Pedigree

• Pedigree animals consistently sell for a higher price than non-pedigree or commercial ones.
• Full traceability of an animal’s ancestry through multiple generations.
• Pedigree registration enables you to access vital genetic information on each animal e.g., production traits, pedigree index and PLI (Profitable Lifetime Index)
• Ability to use other Holstein UK services including classification and genomic testing to help improve your herd.
• Save vital time by applying for your cattle passports at the same as you submit your pedigree registrations.
• Registrations are cost-effective as the value of pedigree easily outweighs the registration fees.
• All registered animals can be viewed on the Holstein UK website, allowing you (and others) to immediately view an animal’s pedigree and genetic data.
• The CIS Pedigree Packages offer, for a single fee, milk recording and pedigree registrations. Pedigree Packages can be enhanced to Complete which includes type classification and options to genomic test.
