Physical validation will be held at the Bell County EXPO October 21st from 4:00 – 6:00 pm
• 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.
• If you have leftover tags from June validation, you may use them this fall.
• Heifers that have existing 840 tags (bangs/premise ID/etc.), tags will not have to be removed. However, these will NOT take the place of a validation 840 tag. In other words, a heifer can have more than one 840 tag in their ear or you can remove previous tags; but regardless, the animal has to have a validation 840 tag. We will have a specific form for you to complete at the time of validation for any previously existing 840 tags that are removed to remain in compliance with TAHC/USDA.
• Please send a PDF copy of the ORIGINAL registration papers for the registered heifers you plan to validate to Floyd.Ingram@ag.tamu.edu PRIOR to validation.
•To validate heifers for the BCYF Unregistered division, please request forms from Cheri.OBraden@ag.tamu.edu prior to validation and return completed paperwork at validation. County only tags for unregistered heifers will be purchased on-site for $5.00 the night of validation.
