A user-friendly transfer process at Holstein Canada makes it convenient for updating an animal’s ownership. Ownership updates result in progeny being recorded in the correct ownership with the corresponding prefix assigned. Consequently, recognition is credited to the correct prefix (breeder and owner) i.e. production awards, Master Breeder awards and show awards. Proper ownership transfers also allow for the proper tracking of an animal's movement through a well-kept paper trail and inbreeding and loss of purebred status is avoided.
