August / September 2007 - Announcements
 
ATTENTION NATIONAL SHOW EXHIBITORS
All animals to be exhibited at American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) national shows should be registered with the AMAA prior to the show's entry deadline. The AMAA office suggests registration applications for animals to be exhibited at AMAA national shows be received a minimum of two weeks prior to the show's entry deadline to allow for processing.
REGISTRATIONS FOR UPCOMING SHOWS
It will soon be time to register show animals for the fall and winter shows. Please keep in mind beginning Oct. 1, 2007, you will need to allow at least two weeks for turn-around on registrations and transfers sent in to our office. If a paper is needed within two weeks, a rush fee ($25 per eight head) will be required before the work will be completed.
REGISTRATION NUMBERS
Once an animal is registered, it is backed up that same night to our Web site at
www.maine-anjou.org . It can be viewed the following day by clicking on “Breed Information,” then “Search the Maine-Anjou Breed.”
NAILE ENTRIES
Please note when submitting entries for the 2007 National Maine-Anjou show in Louisville, Ky., the special rules listed on page 145 of the premium book: “Maine-Anjou total entry fees will be $55 per animal, payable by Oct. 1, 2007. The $25 per head North American entry fee will be paid to the North American office with the remaining $30 paid and sent to the American Maine-Anjou Association, P.O. Box 1100, Platte City, MO 64079-1100.” The entry fee to the AMAA office is also due Oct. 1, 2007.
FEE CHANGES
Effective  Jan. 1, 2007. At the board meetings held during the American Royal in October 2006, it was approved to change the fee from $15 to $20 when adding a registered female from another breed into the AMAA herdbook.
DUES REQUIREMENT
Animals cannot be registered or transferred if either the owner or seller is not an active member of the AMAA. Therefore, if a buyer requests a transfer from a non-member or inactive member, the buyer will be charged for the seller’s membership fee or annual dues. The exception to this rule is if all animals owned by that individual (non- or inactive member) are being transferred at the same time, so the individual currently would not own any cattle.
RUSH REQUESTS
Please note when faxing rush work, it must reach our office by 3 p.m. in order to be processed in that day’s work. If a faxed rush is received after 3 p.m., it will be processed the next business day.
2007 SIRE SUMMARY
The 2007 Sire Summary is now available online at www.maine-anjou.org.
SIRE LIST AVAILABLE
Please note, we do have a listing of sires available on our Web site. You will find bulls are listed alphabetically by nickname. This is found as “Frequently Used Sires” on the Web site.
