Looking to Register a Lineback?

Registration Rules at ALCR

To register an animal with the American Lineback Cattle Registry (ALCR):

The animal must be a Lineback.

Effective January 1, 2019: One of the parents of the offspring must be a registered Lineback.

If your Lineback has an unregistered dam but the sire is registered (or vice versa), the animal can still be registered.

BLAD Test Results:

Bulls born after March 1, 2019, that test positive for BLAD are ineligible for registration.

Females sired by a BLAD-positive bull do not need to be tested for registration.
