What do I have to do to have my calves Express Verified?
- Contact your veterinarian and purchase an eligible Express product for use in your breeding herd.
- Ask your veterinarian for an Express Purchase Certificate, which will contain:
- A Certificate Number and certificate activation date and expiry date.
- Use Express in your breeding females prior to breeding. Remember, it is the calf that is going to be conceived after vaccination with Express, that is eligible to be Express Verified.
- The following year, when you age verify your calves with the CCIA, enter the Certificate Number into the CCIA age verification database. For detailed information, download How do I Express Verify My Calves
