WHR Breeders WHR Assessments for 2021 will be sent in November. If you do not receive yours, please contact the ASA office as soon as possible. 1. WHR inventory assessments must be completed and paid in full prior to registering calves born in the current assessment period, (i.e. 2021 assessment on a dam must be completed and paid in order to register her calf born in 2021.) 2. Included with each assessment is the registration of a calf born to the dam in the year she was assessed (if calf is registered prior to one year of age) and a free transfer of said calf (if recorded within 60 days from the date of the sale.) (i.e. cost to register a calf born in 2021 to an assessed 2021 dam will be $0, if calf is registered within 12 months)

2020 ASSESSMENT FEE SCHEDULE: March 1 - December 31, 2020 $25 2021 ASSESSMENT FEE SCHEDULE: November 1 - January 9, 2021 $16 January 10 - February 28, 2021 $20 March 1 - December 31, 2021 $25

*Calves born in previous year(s) to unassessed dams will incur additional fees.
