Processing Fee
The AGA staff is happy to assist all members in completing data entry. As a reminder, any function on the AGA Online Registry Service which can be completed through a member account, such as calf registrations, transfers, DNA orders, and other data entry, that is instead processed by staff will incur a $2.00 per head processing fee. If you are not familiar with completing some of these functions on the online registry and would like to learn, please contact the AGA office at 303-465-2333 so that staff can walk you through the process of completing these functions.

Online Bill Pay
Paying your bill on the AGA Online Registry Service is now easier than before! To pay your outstanding balance online, simply click the red "Pay Online Now" button that appears under the balance due on your General Profile Information screen. This will redirect you to a screen where credit card information can be securely entered and the payment will be processed. Once all prompts are followed on the credit card entry screen, it will direct you back to the General Profile Information screen where the balance will then be zero.
The AGA also accepts checks as a form of payment. When sending in a check, please be sure to include member number and invoice number. For questions about accounts or paying your bill online, please contact the AGA office at 303-465-2333.
