Bazadais whose pedigree consists solely of animals of pure French Bazadais origin. To enable the

AI Sire AI Sire is a registered male Bazadais animal, may also be registered in a Bazadais/e Herd Book

inside or outside of Australia and considered by the Society as suitable for registration of progeny

born into herds of non - owner of the bull.

and considered by the Society as suitable for registration of progeny born into herds of non - owner

of the dam. Particularly for imported embryo use.

Herd Designation is a unique identification for each herd. It comprises of three letters, allotted by the Society to each

herd accepted for registration. The herd Designation is part of the tattoo identification with which

Grade Code means the number or letter denoting the grade of an animal or the section of the register in which
