Notes for completion of the <strong>Dairy</strong> <strong>Producer</strong> <strong>Affidavit</strong>:<br />
1. The completed affidavit must be signed by the responsible person to meet Age<br />
and Source Verification requirements.<br />
2. <strong>Sterling</strong> Ranch Code is 2 letter State and 3-5 letter ranch code assigned to cattle<br />
based on their ranch of origin and follows cattle through the supply chain and from<br />
owner to owner.<br />
Note to <strong>Sterling</strong> Feedlots: If third party program cattle are included in<br />
shipment then enter the third party program name and ranch name on this<br />
line. If multiple ranches included in shipment then enter all included <strong>Sterling</strong><br />
Ranch Codes and/or Third Party Program Names and Ranch Names.<br />
3. The lot number should describe the lot # at the feedlot assigned to the specific<br />
livestock being shipped. In many cases the ranch to feedlot affidavit will leave the<br />
“Lot #” blank.<br />
4. Date of first calf born is the oldest and therefore the default for the group unless<br />
animals are individually identified and can be sorted. The youngest date should<br />
also be entered. The range must indicate a complete date: 1-3-10 to 4-25-10 ( for<br />
ex.)<br />
Please include a Load Report with Individual Animal details for Calf<br />
Ranch shipments (individual number, actual birth date, dairy of<br />
origin)<br />
5. The person signing the document shall circle the appropriate designator in<br />
paragraph one, “present owner,” “responsible person,” or “agent.”<br />
6. Under the box indicating “Identifying Marks” please enter the <strong>Sterling</strong> Ranch<br />
Code listed on the ear tag (or third party program name if indicated on ear tags). If<br />
using sequential tags, please indicate the range of numbers. If feedlots use a lot<br />
tag, then the Lot Number can also be indicated as an “Identifying Mark.”<br />
7. A copy of the document shall be retained on the premise for five years and a<br />
copy shall be mailed, faxed or scanned and emailed to <strong>Sterling</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> at the<br />
time the affidavit is completed. The original may accompany the shipment or be<br />
faxed directly to the buyer. A copy of the completed affidavit must be on file at the<br />
feedlot prior to harvest.<br />
8. Copies mailed or faxed should be sent to the attention of Susan Morse, P.O.<br />
Box 4047, Irvine, CA 92616 or smorse@sterlingtraceback.com. For additional<br />
