What if a sire/donor dam is dead and no DNA sample is available?
At the Council meeting held August 2003 it was resolved that under no circumstance would a calf be entered into the HBR, RAR or APR if its sire/donor dam was not DNA typed. For HBR/RAR calves born 2003 where the sire/donor dam was not DNA typed, these calves may be recorded in the APR. Please note however that the same DNA regulations apply to the APR from the beginning of 2004.
