These true polled cattle need to be permanently identified. The inspection and verification program is totally voluntary on the part of breeders, who must pay all costa involved for in* spectfon. Also, only smooth polled cattle will qualify for certificate identification. Thus, animals scurred or with scabs are ineligible for verification. The inspection and verification will be conducted by the association staff, as requested by in* dividual breeders. Several breeders in an area may Join together to help defray travel costs of the verifiers. When an animal is verified as smooth polled by the verifier, the animal’s orginial registration cer tificate will be picked up at the time of inspection, and a new certificate carrying the prefit VP-venfied polled-in front of the animal’s registration number will be issued the breeder. The prefix will become a per manent part of that animal’s record. A numerical scoring system designed to classify head characteristics also has been developed by the association for future use in compiling breed data. This system involves the assignment of a number for the extent of polledness (smooth polled, scabs, scurred, or horns); head shape (extreme peak, peak, round or flat); size of the scur or horn, if any, (none, a scab, small, medium, large, or removed); and the presence or absence of bumps. This information, however, will not become a part of the association’s historical record of in dividual animals, but will be available for future statistical purposes or for individual breeder use.
