The Animal Options screen lists the main headings:

• Animal Registration

• Animal Transfer

• Animal Reporting

To register calves individually, select the Manual Entry link under Animal Registration.

After selecting Manual Entry, the screen will display your name and address as the customer requesting the registrations and to be billed for the registration fees. Review the accuracy of this information and, if corrections are necessary, submit them via email to Records@USJersey.com.

To start the registration process, place the cursor in the box Animal Name, and type the name you have selected for the animal to be registered. You can type it in using lower case letters, or all upper case letters, or a combination.

Note  The name prefixes of J1, OA, PR or GR should not be entered in the Animal Name field. The name suffixes of ET and P should not be entered in the name field, either. These designations will be assigned as part of the registration process.

Note  Do not enter apostrophes (’) as part of the animal’s name.

Note  A reserved prefix can only be used to name animals whose breeders and first owners are also owners authorized to use the prefix. If there are additional owners who need to be authorized to use a particular reserved prefix, contact the AJCA office.

Then using the Tab key, move the cursor to the Birth Date box and type in the date the animal was born using the format indicating the two digit numbers for the month, day, and year the animal was born. For example, this calf was born December 27, 2000. Enter the birthdate as 12/27/00.
