GRADING-UP REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY ~ AMENDED MAY 2008
All graded-up Lowline Cattle must meet the following requirements of the
CLCA:
- Graded-up “1/2” to “purebred” (15/16 or greater) Lowline cattle will have a
herd book separate from the Fullblood Lowline Registry called the “Purebred
and Percentage Lowline Herd Book”.
- A fullblood bull must be used for all stages of grading-up.
- Purebred and Percentage Lowline Cattle shall include all those which have
been bred up from purebred or commercial cattle of any breed.
- 4 grades of Purebred and Percentage Lowline Cattle shall exist:
a. “1/2”
b. “3/4”
c. “7/8”
d. “Purebred”
- All ½ and ¾ Percentage Lowline Cattle must be smooth polled.
- All 7/8 and higher Percentage Lowline Cattle must be smooth polled and solid
colour. If not solid colour then the animal will be recorded as ¾.
- All Purebred (15/16 and higher) Lowline Cattle must conform to the Lowline
breed characteristics as described in Article 23 of the CLCA By-laws. If not
then the animal will be recorded as 7/8. Exception: - A red 15/16 or higher
Percentage Lowline animal will be recorded as Purebred but must be
identified as red on the certificate.
- Parent stock must be registered through each phase of grading-up and must be
identified by a tattoo.
- Registration numbers of Percentage Cattle (1/2, 3/4, and 7/8) shall be
preceded by the letter X. Registration numbers of Purebred Cattle (15/16 or
greater) shall be preceded by the letter P. Both groups will be recorded in the
- Graded-up Lowline Cattle of at least 15/16 will be considered Purebred
Lowline but progeny from purebred and percentage parents can never reach
fullblood status. The grade of progeny of Purebred animals shall be calculated
as an average of their actual parental percentage make-up.
- ½ progeny require the dam to be identified by breed or breed combination on
the registration. If the dam is a purebred or fullblood of another breed her
registered name and number and the name of the association shall be included
on the registration certificate.
- Lowline shows will have two divisions:
Fullblood Lowline, and
Purebred and Percentage Lowline
Fullblood cattle may only be shown in the Fullblood division. Purebred and
Percentage cattle may only be shown in the Purebred and Percentage division.
- Imported Purebred and Percentage Lowline Cattle previously registered in a
recognized foreign registry and presenting with evidence of parental
identification can be recorded in the CLCA registry database upon payment of
the appropriate “Import” fee. Animals without evidence of parental
identification and animals from other countries will be subject to full
registration requirements including payment of an appropriate non-import fee
according to the fee schedule.
- DNA requirements:
a. All sires used in grading-up shall be DNA identified.
b. Every tenth application for registration shall be required to be DNA
verified to sire, and if over ½, to sire of dam as well.
c. All imported Purebred and Percentage Lowline Cattle from outside a
recognized foreign registry shall be DNA verified to sire, and of over
½, to sire of dam as well.
d. All animals over 24.5 months and not previously registered must be
DNA verified to the sire, and if over ½, to sire of dam as well.
e. Embryo born Lowline calves must be DNA verified to Sire and Dam.
f. The CLCA Board of Directors can at its discretion ask that any
Lowline animal be DNA verified if the Board has reasonable cause top
question the accuracy of pedigree information, keeping of private
breeding records, or prior history of the registrant.
g. The CLCA Board of Directors can at its discretion raise or lower these
DNA requirements if the Board has reasonable cause.
1 Any dam used for grading-up purposes must conform to breed characteristic
requirements for the respective grade categories designated for the Lowline.
2 No animal may be certified as purebred or fullblood unless it conforms to all
breed characteristics for the Lowline as a distinct breed.
