Do you need registration certificates for an upcoming show, a
show validation or any other purpose? NALF staff is happy to send
the registration certificates to you. Please submit your request and

Registration certificates are required at the Fort Worth Stock Show,
but exhibitors do not need registration certificates for the NWSS

LIMS
LIMS enrollment deadline is February 15. Members
need to visit their Enrollment Selections page on Digital
Beef to make sure all cows are under the Spring 2020 tab if they are set
to calve Spring 2020 or have the “move to next season” box checked
18
if they are calving in the fall. Please contact [email protected] if you
see cows missing from the LIMS enrollment page or have additional
questions. All cows need a calf recorded or a reason for no calf, and
each calf needs a weaning weight or a reason for no weaning weight
(example: calf died prior to weaning). Following the enrollment
deadline, members will have one week to make changes. After that
week, enrollments will be locked, and billing will occur at the end of
the month.
