Source, Age, and Health Verification
Consider having your calves source, age, and health verified to increase your calf marketing potential. Though there are more than 30 USDA approved PVP programs available (Process Verified Program), OVS can assist you with registration and certification in the following PVP's:
Power Genetics Passport ProgramŪ - source, age, and health verification. Requires an on-site audit provided by an Overton Veterinary Services, Power Genetics Agent. No restrictions on preconditioning program (vaccinations). Calves can be sold into any source/age verification market. Program compliant EID tag and dangle tag must be applied to calf. Calves listed on the Power Genetics website. Certificate provided.
Select-VacŪ and AgInfoLinkŪ - a Pfizer Animal Health sponsored preconditioning program with source-age verification through AgInfoLinkŪ. OVS veterinarians are Program Specialists for Select-VacŪ; specific Pfizer products must be used for preconditioning; registration and certification is done on-line through the web. Calves can be sold into any source/age verification market. Program compliant EID tag and dangle tag must be applied to calf. Calves listed on the AgInfoLinkŪ website. Certificate provided.
 Cow Sense Verified offers Cow Sense customers the opportunity to command premiums on their cattle! The program provides age and source verification through the USDA-approved Micro Beef Process Verified Program (PVP) for Age and Source Verification.
What is the cost? All programs have a base cost and are dependent upon the level of preconditioning done to the calves and the level of data management requested by you. The approximate cost range, including tags, is $6.00 to $12.00 per calf.
