If your spring sale has come and gone, payments and delivery has been completed, please get the transfer information submitted to your Association. Even if the buyer indicates they do not want the papers, here’s a few reasons why it may be beneficial to submit them anyway.
Animal lists and inventories can get quite lengthy if a membership is not transferring ownership of registered cattle. Similar to a vehicle title transfer, if you submit the necessary paperwork through the Association, the record of the sale will be filed and if something comes up down the line or the animal exchanges hands again, you may save yourself chasing down old ghosts to try and get it sorted out. Outlined below is a bit more information on transferring with various breeds.
