MARCH 2010 Canadian Livestock Records Corp. • issuance of certificates, in a format approved by the Society, and membership cards Vic Eggleston, Executive Director The Canadian Livestock Records Corporation (CLRC) is a non-profit corporation, established under Canadian federal legislation, the Animal Pedigree Act, to provide registry services to incorporated breed associations. The CLRC acts as a neutral third party between the associations and their members. CLRC is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives of the breed associations who have been elected by their colleagues to serve in that capacity. CLRC provides its services to fifty-three Canadian breed associations, also providing services on a contract basis to three bovine associations based in the United States, including the American Galloway Breeders’ Association. The various breed associations are responsible for setting their own rules of eligibility and registry requirements. The CLRC is responsible for enforcing those rules and procedures, and for collecting the proper fees. The CLRC currently has a staff of nine persons under the direction of Ron Black, General Manager. The staff has many years of experience and knowledge to offer. Two members of the CLRC staff will be assigned to our members of the Belted Galloway Society, Inc. SERVICES: The core registry service provided by CLRC is a complete service consisting of the following basic elements: • printing and distribution of application forms • receipt and deposit of all fees • entry of information from applications into database • manual and computer checking of data and approval of applications, ensuring adherence to rules of eligibility as set down in Society by-laws and to recognized biological parameters • recording of DNA test results Spring Council Meeting Annual Northeast Livestock Expo April 16-18, 2010 Las Vegas, NV.

In addition to the above services, CLRC also maintains a section of its website on which it posts a listing of members and the pedigrees of animals for each association that chooses to participate. The site is updated frequently from the main database. The Belted Galloway Society Inc. signed a contract with CLRC. The five-year contract will be renewable. Work has commenced on programming the Society registry. In developing the programs, the CLRC systems manager uses many common routines for all the various associations, and customizes them for our Society while incorporating the particular rules, regulations and requirements set down by our By-Laws. Our next step will be to transfer the existing member and animal data to CLRC. When the programming and testing has been completed, an information package will be sent to each Belted Galloway Society Inc. member to introduce them to CLRC. This will include forms and information on how to contact CLRC. It is estimated that implementation will take 3 to 4 months to complete. We will continue to update the Belted Galloway Society Inc. membership as the conversion process continues. Farm Tech Days July 20-22 Peterson Farm, Rivers Falls, WI.
