Attention Steer Exhibitors
All steers entered and exhibited at the VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) must be parent verified to both sire and dam. This requires a DNA profile for the steer, sire and dam, completed through the official American Hereford Association lab. To avoid any delays when entering or exhibiting at the JNHE, we strongly encourage you to start this process as early as possible. DNA verification is required at the time of entry and can take more than 4 weeks to process.
For more information about parent verification or the DNA process, please email aha@hereford.org, or by calling into customer service at (816) 842-3757.
