Association can help with junior transfers
|
|
If you know of a junior member who has purchased a heifer or steer to show and
who has not received the transferred papers, and the ownership deadlines for a
specific show are fast approaching, the Association can help. Contact the
American Angus Association at least two weeks prior to the show ownership
deadline. Every effort will be made to get the transfer processed in time.
Remember, late transfers are never accepted, regardless of the reason. |
