The Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders' Association of the USA issued the following statement about their data base issues:
Due to the database being down, registrations, transfers, reports and various other aspects of the association have not been able to run. The projected date to be back up and running will be after May 15th, which we know is a deadline for some shows and organizations. With that being said, any registrations or transfers that have been received before May 15th will be dated as such, only due to this unfortunate circumstance.
For anyone that may have submitted work through the database on Friday afternoon or Saturday, May 3rd or 4th, we ask that you reach out to our office to make sure that the work was received.
Our email and phones are up so we can still accept applications via email and can answer questions.
Unfortunately this is out of our hands but the Holstein Association programmers are actively working on getting this situation resolved. We will announce when the database is back up and can start processing work again.
We appreciate everyone being patient and understanding with this. Once we have more information, we will notify our breeders.
