Application date

Part-year fee (optional)

Only available from January until June each year.

Herd/Stud name (optional)

Please note that it is not compulsory to enrol a Herd/Stud Name when joining DCSNZ. However, herd/stud enrolment will be necessary to enable the registration of any animals that you breed.  Your herd/stud name is used as a prefix to – and as part of the name of – the Dexter cattle you register (e.g. If your herd/stud name is Black Park and you want to call your animal Elizabeth, you would put the following, Black Park Elizabeth).

Many breeders use their property name as their herd/stud name. However, the herd/stud name of any herd must be unique within DCSNZ. Please submit two choices for your herd/stud name, each of no more than 15 characters, including spaces between words.

To enrol your Herd/Stud name on the DCSNZ Register, a one-off fee of $25 applies.
