MEMBERSHIP


The Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd offers three membership categories to new members. 

The membership categories are:


Full Membership

Ideal for those who wish to participate in breeding quality registered Brangus & Ultra animals and record their pedigree. 


Full members are eligible to sell stock at ABCA sales, participate in Brangus Group BREEDPLAN, vote at ABCA meetings and in elections as well as receive the Spring and Autumn magazine, information regarding shows, sales and activities organised by ABCA. 


Each Full member is required to record a prefix, brand and ID for their herd, which will be unique to their membership.


All animals registered by that member will use the prefix and ID in their identification.



Commercial Membership

Designed for people with an interest in the Brangus breed that do not wish to register or record cattle. 


Commercial members receive all ABCA publications (including the Spring and Autumn magazine), utilise ABCA marketing initiatives and can list cattle for sale on the Brangus Australia website.


Commercial members may record their prefix, brand, ID and record performance pedigree animals with the ABCA. Commercial members may record and can also performance test their cattle through Brangus BREEDPLAN. Commercial members cannot register animals and cannot vote.



Youth Membership

Youth membership is a restricted membership category to enable youth to commence breeding Brangus and/or participate in self-development programs.
