Registration Transfers Registration transfers have never been easier! The NALF-DigitalBeef platform easy-to-use transfer tool allows you to add cattle under your name or buyers name with just a few clicks. This tool also shows the history of transfers so that you always have your records and don’t have to worry about losing papers. It has been proven across the globe that buyers are willing to pay more for registered Limousin & Lim-Flex cattle. Registration papers and performance records provide breeders and buyers with valuable information on the pedigree, performance, and EPDs of an animal. The professional breeder will provide the information to the buyer through the transfer of registration papers. This allows the new owner to monitor the genetics of his/her to aid in selection. Pedigree for parentage and performance allows for the documentation of offspring and performance to feed yards and other potential buyers. • Select the desired buyer from the list.
