Assessments, revisited.
As promised, WHR breeders should be receiving the 2022 WHR assessments in the mail. As of November 1st, these can also be completed online through Digital Beef. Here are a few quick tips/ reminders as you prepare to tackle those:
- Always be sure you are not using Internet Explorer. - If you are culling an animal (online), click the “dispose/exempt“ option which provides a drop-down menu of cull codes. Once you select that code, click
“save” directly to the right of it.
- If you want your animal to remain active, don’t do anything to her; don’t give her a code (online) and don’t write anything next to her (paper copy). This leaves her active and ready to work with for the upcoming year. - Be sure to look over your list carefully. Heifers do show up if they will be of technical age to calf in the upcoming year. Be sure to give them a code “51” if they are not going to be having their first calf in 2022. This holds them over until next year’s assessment. - The discounted rates are only applied if you both complete the assessments and pay for them in the discount windows.
- If completing assessments online, be aware that the price that you see (once assessments are pushed through) is the $20/head price. The discount to $16/ head is applied once you click the “pay online now” button and pay via credit card. Similarly, if paying via check, just send the $16/head rate if you’re getting the work completed before Jan 9th.
If any questions arise, do not hesitate to reach out to the office. We are here to help! Happy Thanksgiving everyone, we are certainly thankful for you all! =
