Associate Membership is for people who are interested in the breed and which to receive all official correspondence from the American Beefalo Association office. Associate Members do not have voting privileges and cannot hold an elected office. Associate Members may register Beefalo cattle but will be charged a non-member fee.
Active Members, through their Board of Directors and participation, control the Association and its operation. All Board Members are elected by the Active General Membership.
To be considered an Active Lifetime Member of the American Beefalo Association, you must register and/or transfer at least two (2) Beefalo Cattle within a two (2) year period. Failure to meet this requirement will place a Lifetime Member on Inactive Status.
