PINNED: About the Bulletin Board... The Bulletin Board is for the use of the Registry to bring you news, views, and reminders. It is also for breeders and others interested in the breed to share farm news, announce local news coverage of your farm, your animals, or the Randalls in general, and to post classified advertising directly related to our cattle.
You are also encouraged to send us your photos. Do you have new calves? Space permitting, we'll post your "guest" photos here too. Just email digital images, or regular mail prints (I'll return them) to the Registry.
Inclusion of all announcements, classifieds, and photos is at our discretion, and is free. Send your information to randallcattleregistry@gmail.com and we'll try to post it in a timely manner. Posts will be removed after 60 days unless an extension is requested.
