Cow/Calf Programs Overview
The Cow/Calf Operations Programs Overview document will give a brief description of SAV, China Export Verification, NHTC, and Verified Natural Beef requirements.
Source & Age Enrollment Application
The Source and Age Verification application is only for producers enrolling an individual calving group. This is a phone audit process, which does not require an onsite audit.
Ranch Application
This application is the first step in the verification process for cow/calf ranches wanting to enroll in SAV, Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC), Verified Natural Beef (VNB), CARE or Verified Grassfed programs.
Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) Feed Letter
Producers enrolled in the NHTC and Verified Natural programs must obtain a signed feed letter of guarantee from the manufacturer of all commercial feed products being used on their operation.

Ranch Manual
Producers enrolled in SAV, NHTC, VNB, CARE programs must have an updated ranch manual on hand for your onsite verification.
Shipping Certificate
Instead of completing a separate document when you ship your approved cattle from the ranch, now you can write the shipping information directly on the Ranch Shipping Certificate, which is issued when your calving group is approved.
