The value of pedigree easily outweighs the cost of a registration
13th November 2023
The value of a registered animal should not be overlooked. Pedigree animals consistently trade at a higher value than non-pedigree animals. Pedigree registration also allows access to vital genetic information on each animal including production traits and (PLI) Profitable Lifetime Index, along with full traceability on its ancestry.
Registered Ayrshires also have access to type classification and genomic testing which all help to improve your herd. All registered animals can be viewed on the ACS website and their genetic credentials are immediately updated after each proof run.
The value of pedigree easily outweighs the cost of a registration for an Ayrshire which makes registering very cost effective to your business.
