Services of the Canadian Milking Shorthorn Society Registration The Canadian Milking Shorthorn registers its cattle through the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation. Registration applications and a list of fees are available on our Forms page. Breeders should also be aware that the CMSS has an active genetic expansion and grade-up option for those with crossbred or previously unregistered cattle. Animals entering the CMSS herdbook enter with the purity percentage dictated by genes. Milking Shorthorn has one of the fastest and most accurate grade-up programs, with the minimum number of generations til purebred of four. Contact us today to see if this might fit for you! Registration of animals 50% purity or less are only $10! Membership The CMSS has three membership options:

For a mid-round visit, an additional charge of $100 is applied. Updated Classification Scorecard (July 2012) Shows and Sales: The CMSS National Show is held in Lindsay, Ontario.
