Additional Registration Information:

Adding a Photo or Sketch

During the registration process, you have the option of adding a photo or sketch of your Holstein animal. The photo or sketch will be added to the Certificate of Registry of your Holstein animal.

Please note that a $2 administrative fee will be charged for adding a photo or sketch after the registration has been processed.

Requirements for Submitting Photo or Sketch with Electronic Registration Application

If you would like to submit an image with an animal registration, the image file should satisfy the specifications listed below. Images will be saved on Holstein Association of Canada’s database and automatically resized to fit the designated print area on the certificate of registry.

Image Specifications:

  • Only one image file can be submitted for each application.
  • The image can be a scanned picture or sketch or a picture taken by a digital camera.
  • Take digital pictures at draft or low quality.
  • Scan photos and sketches at less than 100 dpi (dots per inch).
  • The image should be a minimum of 5 x 5 cm OR 200 x 200 pixels OR 2 x 2 in.
  • If the image file includes photo or sketch of both sides of the animal, the minimum image size becomes 5 x 10 cm OR 200 x 400 pixel OR 2 x 4in. Note: Must be submitted as one image file.
  • The size of the image file should be less than 20MB. Reducing the file size to less than 5MB will decrease the probability of a time-out error during transmission via the web.
  • Each animal's image must be saved as a separate file. The image file name must be unique within the ERA file. Naming the image file the same as the tag number is recommended (ie. 8123456.jpg).
  • The image file must be saved as .jpg format.

Photo Recommendations:

  • Location: Breeders are encouraged to routinely use a designated location specifically set up for photographing animals. To avoid shadows or glare, the light source should be in back of the photographer.
  • Animal ID: Inclusion of the calf number in photograph is ideal and prevents mix-ups.
  • Background: The animal should be photographed in front of contrasting absorbent background. Four straw bales (2 on edge side, and 2 high) or a clean sheet of natural plywood provide an ideal contrasting background.
  • Photographer: The photographer should be positioned 3-5 meters from the animal in order to obtain photographs of calves with proper dimensions.
