£15000 savings on registration costs
The Board has reviewed the fee structure for 2009, taking account of:-
- breeders are our customers. It is your choice whether to register or
not;
- the importance of balancing fair cost for all with the work involved
and funding breed development and promotion;
- current fees offer good value compared with other Societies in the UK
or overseas;
A significant saving is available for those registering by web.
To take advantage, herds must be up-to-date before entry to the system.
There are also changes to registrations of Young bulls and Embryos
Amnesties are available for those contacting the Society by 18 December

AMNESTY: Any breeder with outstanding late or import registrations can

all outstanding information available for registration by Fri 26 Feb
09
Embryos
*UK Jersey procedures will include the entry of ET1 forms from 1 Jan
09.
The ET1 fee also ensures UK Jerseys receive income from embryo exports.
Currently the Society is vulnerable to undertaking all ET1 administration
without receiving any income where embryos are exported.
** Where no ETI is submitted, or the embryo is imported, an additional ‘Paper’ registration
fee per animal shall apply in addition to the standard registration fee.
AMNESTY: Any breeder with outstanding ET1 or import information
to ensure it is at the office by Friday 19th Dec 08
Young Bulls
Full registration + DNA by 60 days
after birth*
* Full refund on submission of BCMS confirmation that the bull has died,
or veterinary certificate confirming infertility or any other reason
for the bull not being suitable to work, prior to serving any female.
** The Society recommends that breeders and / or purchasers have a veterinary
inspection confirming overall health, testicular and semen quality, and
absence of genetic defects.
It will be a requirement to have a certificate confirming ** above before
bulls can be collected for AI or used in ET
The sale of provisionally registered bulls creates a disproportionate
amount of work when new members wish to register, or bulls are sold back
in to pedigree herds.
DNA genotyping is already a market feature of selling bull semen.
The above policy will add to the value of Jersey cattle throughout the
country and, again, start to position the breed for exports.
