As a member of the Ankole Society of South Africa, there are several responsibilities that a Breeder needs to meet to maintain their stud.  A full list of these responsibilities can be accessed here.  These are summarized as follows:

• Registering your stud. Contact our Breed Director to get assistance with this or click through to “become a member”
