To become an ABBI member (or renew your membership):

• Complete the ABBI Membership Form, including payment details.

• Email the form to abbiaustralia.rego@gmail.com.

• Wait for your USA ABBI Member Number and database access code to be issued.

Animal registration is a 3-step process:

Step 1: Registration Form

• Once your membership number has been issued, fill out the ABBI Registration Form.

• If applicable, also complete the ABBI Work Order Form (for transfers or updates).

• Email both forms to abbiaustralia.rego@gmail.com.

• Wait for the animal’s registration number to be issued.

Step 2: Mouthing Verification

Once your animal has a registration number, any bull you wish to compete with must be mouth and DNA verified.

2.1 Mouthing Code Request

• Email abbiaustralia.rego@gmail.com to receive your random 5-digit mouthing code.

• This code is valid for 10 days and is required to verify when the bull was mouthed.

2.2 Mouthing Video Instructions
Take a 10-second uninterrupted video using your phone. Ensure the video clearly shows:

• The bull’s brand (fire or freeze)

• The 5-digit mouthing code, written on an A4 piece of paper

• The bull’s mouth, displaying all teeth clearly

• The bull’s ear tag number, if applicable

2.3 Submitting the Video

• Email the video to abbiaustralia.rego@gmail.com.

• Once processed, you will receive notification of the mouthing verification status.

Important:
Ensure your video is clear and meets all requirements:

• Shows 5-digit code, all teeth, and brands clearly.

• Poor-quality videos will delay processing.

Step 3: DNA Verification – Tail Hair Sample

• Pull tail hair samples from the bull.

• Place them in a zip-lock bag.

• Clearly label the bag with the animal’s name or ID.

• Send to:
  Holly Keliher
  59 Gesslers Rd
  Murgon QLD 4605
  (Registered post preferred)

These samples will be shipped to the USA for DNA testing.

Before nominating your animal:

• Read the ABBI Australia Event Rules thoroughly.

• Complete the Event Entry Form.

• Email your completed form to abbiaustralia.rego@gmail.com.
