Of the 61,306 bulls registered with the TLBAA since 1964, only 508 have been AI certified to date. TLBAA AI Certificate #1 belongs to Texas Ranger JP. Bred and owned by Jack Phillips of Battle Island Ranch, West Columbia, Texas, the bull was certified in December, 1972.
The TLBAA has made it as simple as possible to AI certify your bull. Application for certification of a bull as a TLBAA AI Certified Sire must be made on a TLBAA form which contains, but is not limited to:
- TLBAA registered name and number of the bull,
- The bull's private herd number and ownership brand and
- The owner’s name, address and signature.
The TLBAA requires that each animal registered have a private herd number and a holding brand. Your registration certificate application contains a space for these brands as well as the location of the brands on the animal, i.e. right hip, left hip, left shoulder, etc. The TLBAA does not require that your holding brand be registered with your state agency; however, we recommended that you check with your state to be sure you are in accordance with the laws there in.
