information associated with
the extent of polledness
within the breed.
"Although naturally a
horned breed, Charolais
cattle have witnessed a
phenomenal increase in the
incidence of polledness in
recent years," he said, “The

in the polled gene being
brought forward generation
by generation from original
polled dams. 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.
