All registrations for pedigree Charolais calves born on/after 1st January 2004 are via the Animal Events Recording Book.
The Animal Events book can be used to notify all your calves pedigree and commercial to the CMMS Office in Clonakilty. Address:- National Calf Registration Services/Animal Events Agency, PO Box 72, Clonakilty, FREEPOST, Co. Cork.
Up to ten calves can be registered on each sheet

Fill in one line for each and every calf born
For ET calves two lines are required. Please fill in the recipient’s tag number and breed code on the same line as the calf’s details, and on the next line please just fill in the donor dam’s tag number and breed code.
If your calf is pedigree please give it a name beginning with the year letter in which it is born.

When you enter a sire for a calf, please use either his

(Please do not enter the bull’s name as the sire for the calf)
The breed of sire should always be filled in even if it is an AI sire
Please be careful not to put an entry in the “Dead” column unless your calf is actually dead. “1” = abortion and “2” = dead at birth
You do not have to fill in a white card for any calf notified to the CMMS office using the Animal Events Book
Pedigree registration fees should NOT be sent with the
completed Animal Events Sheet.
Animal passports will be issued by the Department of Agriculture in the same way as if they were registered with a white card.
We will have access to your pedigree Charolais data and following verification by us we will either invoice you for payment due or notify you of a pending Direct Debit payment if you are using this method. Should you have a query on any aspect of the Direct Debit payment you will have time to have this clarified before payment is made.
