Attention all ICCS members

Breed Improvement Scheme

As you all know, since the 1st of January 2017, heifers bred in your herd can be de-registered up to 12 months of age and you will receive a refund of €40.00.

You must return the herd book certificate, along with a note stating that you wish to de-register the female to the Charolais office.

Please note that once a female has been de-registered she can never be re-registered.

From the 1st of April 2017, bulls bred in your herd can be de-registered up to 16 months of age and you will receive a refund of €40.00.

You must return the herd book certificate, along with a slaughter docket for the bull and a note stating that you wish to de-register the bull to the Charolais office. Please note that both the herd book certificate and slaughter docket for the bull must be received in the Charolais office before you will be refunded.

We hope that these options to you as breeders will make your breeding decisions easier in the future and improve the quality of Charolais cattle going forward.
