To minimize the number of errors caused by typing three-generation pedigree data for sale catalogues, along with making sure the most up-to-date information is included, pedigree extracts are available for Canadian Angus Association members putting together sale catalogues. A pedigree extract is a text data file which contains individual animal identification, a three-generation pedigree, and all available performance data. Pedigree extract files are sent to the customer or their designate by email.
As an added service to the pedigree extracts, Canadian Angus Association members who provide their completed sale catalogue as a PDF will have it published on the Canadian Angus Association website Sales Catalogue page and at least one social media channel. In addition, you can electronically submit your event and it will be added to the online events calendar to increase exposure for your sale; please include sale details such as sale date, location and contact information for inquiries. For an additional fee, animal photographs can also be included in the online herdbook.
