American Chianina Association

EPD Tables:

The American Chianina Association was officially organized in June 1972 in Kansas City, MO. The original ACA office was located in Blue Springs, MO, until November 1982, when a permanent ACA National Headquarters was built in Platte City, MO. The primary purpose of the ACA is to register and transfer seedstock and maintain records of pedigrees in the breed's herdbook. The National staff promotes the breed at various livestock events around the country, as well as publishes a breed magazine and other promotional publications as a service to the association's membership.

New ACA Sale Policy on Genetic Abnormalities

The ACA requires animals consigned to ACA sponsored sales to be tested for known genetic abnormalities, as identified by the ACA Board of Directors, if they are suspect for one or more of these genetic abnormalities. A suspect animal has a sire or dam (or both) that have tested positive as a carrier of one or more known genetic abnormalities. If carrier status of one or both parents is unknown and one or more ancestors have been identified as a carrier of known genetic abnormalities, the animal in question will be considered suspect for known genetic abnormalities. Any suspect animal with unknown carrier status for the known genetic abnormalities on sale day will not be able to sell. The sales management is responsible for publishing test results in the sale catalog and/or announcing test results for carrier status for known genetic abnormalities from the auction block sale day.
The ACA recognizes PHA, TH, AM and NH as known genetic abnormalities in which the ACA requires tests for.
