Service Certificates: The Grassroots programme now has a service certificate facility. Once details of the service have been submitted to the breed society, in the same way as registrations and transfers, a printable service certificate is available that can be given to the female goat's owner.
Notice of the service certificate is downloaded and automatically attached on the datafile of both the male and female. This is picked up by Grassroots when kids are registered from the mating. If this facility is used there is no need to send a paper certificate to the office. You can use this instead of the service certificates booklets. If you have any queries regarding this part of the Grassroots programme, please phone the office 01434 240 866
Service certificates are required, where you are not the owner of a sire, when registering kids. This requirement applies to both online and paper applications and may mean you have to send a paper service certificate by post even if you have used Grassroots for the registrations.
