BUYING & SELLING REGISTERED HIGHLAND CATTLE IN CANADA
Please note that there are specific rules that must be followed when registering and transferring Highland cattle in Canada. A full description of requirements can be found in our Bylaws (Sections 17 & 18) here:
CHCS Bylaws
Only the owner or lessee of the dam at birth can register an animal - a buyer cannot, under any circumstances.
Similarly, only the registered owner of an animal can transfer registration papers to a buyer. And must due so within 6 months of the sale at the seller’s expense. If a purebred animal is to be sold without papers, it must be done so in writing – otherwise it is a contravention of both the CHCS Bylaws and the Animal Pedigree Act.
Also, if you are selling livestock, please ensure you provide a proper bill of sale. We have prepared a sample for you:
