The new Hereford Inventory Genotyping Project is now available for Canadian Hereford Members who participate in the THE program. This new initiative is available for a limited time and will allow breeders to genomic test their complete female inventory at the reduced rate.

Details of the Program:
- Reduced rate of $40 per animal.
- The test is our regular CHA Standard Test that includes the same add-ons, just at a lower price.
- The add-ons include parentage, genetic conditions (except MD), horned/polled, and genomically enhanced EPDs.
- By completing the testing on your female inventory, you will alleviate many future parentage issues as your herd will have increased pedigree accuracy and this will be an additional attribute to differentiate your program to prospective customers.
- Not a part of the THE program? Please contact the THE program administrator Val Wells ([email protected]) for more information and to get set up!
