We have streamlined the cattle registration process. Breeders will now send all DNA samples directly to Scidera, Inc. . Scidera will handle all customer service inquiries related to DNA sampling. The purpose of this change in procedure is to reduce your turnaround time on registrations. Your registration should be complete and ready to process when submitted to the ALR office.

For questions related to your DNA blood sampling results:
Call Scidera, Inc. at 800-311-8808 ext. 3016 or see www.BreedTru.com

For questions related to registrations (not DNA blood sampling):
Call the ALR office at 303-840-4343 or email info@usa-lowline.org

DNA PARENT VERIFICATION IS REQUIRED FOR:
• Fullblood registrations (for parent verification)
• Percentage/Purebred Bull who will be used to sire registered cattle or produce semen that will be sold. (Put DNA on file for reference, parent verification not required)
• Percentage/Purebred Females who will be flushed (Put DNA on file for reference, parent verification not required)

(See Rule III number 6 under Standards for Registration)
