Angus Australia Catalogue Services
Angus Australia recognises the importance of the inclusion of accurate registration and performance data in members' sale catalogues.
When making purchasing decisions buyers are placing increased reliance on each animal's Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs), Pedigree information and Genetic Carrier status. This information is used in conjunction with reviewing an animal's structural soundness and physical measurements.
One of the services Angus Australia provides to members is a range of catalogue options to suit your individual needs. For these catalogues we provide the latest registration and performance data downloaded directly from our database.
Details of cattle recorded in any of Angus Australia's registers, including the Herd Book Register (HBR), Red Angus Register (RAR), Angus Performance Register (APR), Angus Commercial Register (ACR) and Multi-Breed Register (MBR) can be included in sale catalogues, along with each animal's Angus Breedplan performance data.
The catalogue options available to members of Angus Australia include:

QA Data Extracts for paper based (printed) catalogues
The details of all animals in a members' Sale Catalogue can be extracted from Angus Australia's database and forwarded, as a data file, to the printer of choice for the member.
Alternatively, the lot details may be formatted by Angus Australia, using one of the standard Sale Catalogue templates available, with an electronic version† (usually as a Word or .pdf file) being forwarded to the printer.
