Cross reference participants are assigned a 4-digit controller code and every bull in the CR database must have a controller code assigned to it. The controller is the individual or company that is legally authorized either by ownership or by written agreement with the bull owner, to submit such records to NAAB for use in the CR database.
The controller is the entity responsible for updating the information in the database and for paying all fees established by NAAB.
All NAAB Uniform Codes assigned to dairy or beef bulls by a semen production or processing business must be entered by the Controller in the NAAB dairy or beef cross reference database pursuant to the NAAB Uniform Codes Guidelines that apply to the applicable license to use either the NAAB-ICAR Stud Location Code or the NAAB Marketing Code system.
