 Instructions for Multiple Registration Application and Report

 This form is used both as an application form and a report.  You fill as much information as you have available in the areas that are not shaded and send the information in.  Once we receive the form we will process your data and send back a new printed form with the information that you submitted plus any calculated information (in shaded fields).  If you need to add weaning or yearling information just fill in the additional information on the form that we return to you and return it to the office.  If this pre-printed form contains dams that you no longer own or are dead, please submit a disposal code so that we can keep the database clean.
