Steer & Heifer Validation: Monday, June 19 from 7:00–10:00 AM & 4:00–6:00 PM at the Bell County EXPO
REGISTERED HEIFERS: The deadline for ownership, transfer, and registration for Registered Breeding Heifers is June 30, 2023. A color, PDF copy of the original registration papers should be emailed to your County Extension Agent or Ag Teacher by June 30, 2023.
NEW FOR 2023 All state validated heifers will be tagged similar to steers. This will bring our heifer validation program in line with breeding sheep, breeding goats, and breeding gilts.
NEW FOR 2023 Both steers and heifers will be charged at an increased validation fee. In an effort to be in compliance with Texas Animal Health Commission, we are switching our previous EID frequency tags to 840 frequency EID tags. This will allow our state validated livestock to move in compliance with TAHC across state lines and be in compliance when issues a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health papers).
1. Heifers already validated do NOT have to be revalidated or have a tag. Heifers ONLY need to be revalidated if they change breed or ownership.
2. If your heifer has a previously existing 840 premise ID tag, there will be retag form/process, in coordination with TAHC, to remove the tag and replace with an official Texas Validation 840 tag. More information will be forthcoming on the official process and form for doing so.
