DNA parent verification (parentage test) must be completed and recorded in REDSPro on the individual animal and verified to the greatest extent possible before an animal is shown at any Red Angus national or regional show including the Red Angus Youth Expo. Animals must be on R or I status.
All cattle must meet both requirements (parentage test and registration status) by noon the day after check-in, if the show schedule allows, at the following junior and open shows: Iowa State Fair, KILE, NILE, American Royal, Western National Red Angus Show, NAILE, Cattlemen’s Congress, Fort Worth Stock Show and Red Angus Youth Expo.
DNA will be collected from all Grand and Reserve Champions, as well as overall winners in every show, for parentage verification. Producers are encouraged to submit DNA as early as possible to allow time for lab processing. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for results.
For questions regarding DNA, please contact the RAAA DNA department at dna@redangus.org or erin@redangus.org.
Percentage female shows are offered at Iowa State Fair, NILE, American Royal, Western National Red Angus Show, NAILE, Cattlemen’s Congress and Red Angus Youth Expo.
