Make sure you have your PIN (personal identification number) to hand. You will be asked for it every time you call the freephone number.

• Where possible, start with pedigree animals that you will apply for BCMS directly yourself, then pedigree animals that you wish us to register and send to BCMS and finally nonpedigrees that you wish us to send to BCMS only.

• If you have electronic identity for each animal, please give the number. You will then be asked for the following information:

1. Ear Tag Number of the Calf

2. Are you applying for a Passport?

3. BCMS Breed Code (The Brown Swiss Breed Code is 31)

4. Date of Birth and calving details

5. Sex of Calf

6. Service details eg Artificial Insemination/Natural Service/Embryo Transfer

7. AI date (if applicable)

8. Embryo Transfer Number/Recepient Dam’s Eartag number (if applicable)

9. Twin/Triplet?

10. Name of Sire

11. Sire’s Herdbook Number

12. Full Name of Dam

13. Dam’s Herdbook Number

14. Dam’s Eartag Number

15. Name of Calf
