Entries for these sales can be viewed through your ICBF online account (mobile & app). Once logged in go to ‘Services’ > ‘Stock Express’ > ‘Buyer’ and select the sale you are interested in. Most animals will be entered the week of the sale.

Having purchased genotyped 4/5-star females please recheck your herd’s BDGP compliance online through your ICBF account. Under the ‘View Profiles’ dropdown click ‘BDGP Eligibility’. This profile will give you an up to date picture of where your herd stands in relation to each target. Any targets which your herd is non-compliant on will be highlighted in red.

If you are short BDGP eligible females and are not waiting for genotyping results, your only option to meet the 31^st Oct target is to purchase genotyped 4/5 star females.
