Instructions

Membership: Online access membership will be offered soon (target: EOY 2023). Any membership fees paid before then (including lifetimes) will apply toward online membership fees later, if desired. Anyone can register cattle through the office anytime. When services go online, members can register unlimited numbers of cattle (all breeds recognized by HCA) online for no additional charge.

Registration: Print off necessary forms, fill them out, mail them in with a check or scan and email them with attached documentation, and pay online. Include photos, a scan of the registration certificates for both sire and dam, and any DNA documentation of animal or parents. If sire or dam is registered in more than one registry, please include all that info. Here are the steps:

• Go to Homestead Cattle Association main website membership & registration page to access Belfair Registry forms.
• Open, download, print and fill out the forms, scan and attach to email (or mail them to office).
• Include at least 2 photos of animal to be registered, right side & left side. Both will appear on the registration certificate. Include additional photos if necessary. Make sure one photo shows animal's face, all markings, brands and any other identifying features.
• Don't forget to include owner and animal ID with any photos sent in.
• Include all documentation, including scan of each parent's registration certificate, any DNA test results, etc.
• If mailed, include check made to Homestead Cattle Association, 12509 W. Whyman St, Avondale AZ 85323, or
• If emailed, send scans of photos, filled out forms and documents to office: homestead.cattle.assn@gmail.com and pay online.
• REMINDER: Soon you will be able to perform all transactions online.
• CAUTION: Allow plenty of time for the USPS to get forms or certificates through the mail.
• Let me know if you have a deadline.

• PAYMENT: To pay online, choose one of the following methods. Until we get the online platform going, I can accept payments by check, Zelle, PayPal or Facebook messenger.
      → FREE: Facebook Messenger Private or Direct Message (PM/DM @ facebook.com/SereCowgirl)
      → FREE: Zelle: email through your bank to donna@buckingv.com, ☎ 406-591-6568 (cell)
      → PayPal +ADD 4% fee: send payment to Bucking V Outfit, LLC., donna@buckingv.com, ☎ 406-591-6568. Personally, I highly recommend you do not use Paypal. Paypal actually has been keeping (stealing) up to $2500 of some of their customer's money, whose political ideologies they do not agree with. Apparently they have something in their small print that "allows" them to do that. Therefore I cannot guarantee receiving your payment if you must use Paypal.
      → Request an INVOICE / Request a RECEIPT: send me an email. If applicable, include your PayPal- or Zelle-registered phone number.

DNA Testing: If you want to order DNA testing for your animal, please email, call or text Donna (office) to order testing supplies (hair kit, blood cards, etc.). To get an idea of which tests to order, and which Lab offers which tests, go here: Homestead Cattle Association DNA page. Homestead & Miniature Cattle Directory of Genetic Traits & Diseases (testable genetic traits & conditions in cattle). Contact Donna with any questions about which tests to order for the Belfair and Irish Jersey.

Your animal's registration certificate will be printed for the Belfair Cattle Registry or the Irish Jersey Registry. Papers are usually done & sent quickly; the first proof is emailed as pdf, usually available within 2 days for owner approval. Calf or permanent registration certificates can be emailed as official pdf, or as an embossed seal, signed certificate mailed from office. Let office know which version you need. If you ever contact and do not hear back, that means I have not seen or received or lost your message; so please, reach out again!
