WHY IT EXISTS

Registration without proof is only a record.

MiniatureCattle.com separates what is reported from what is verified. Every registered animal carries a permanent MC number and a DNA identity profile. Mature size is earned later through a qualifying measurement.

DNA IDENTITY

Every registered animal has a genetic-marker identity profile on file.

MATURE SIZE

Permanent mature-size status is earned only after an accepted measurement at age 3 or older.

PARENTAGE

Sire and dam are shown as DNA verified, reported, or unavailable — never blurred together.

FOUNDATION RECORDS

Build the future without pretending the past was fully verified.

Historical, deceased or unclaimed animals may remain Foundation records when current registration requirements cannot be completed. A living Foundation animal can later be claimed and move into registration when its owner supplies the required information and verified DNA identity.
