Tri-Merit

Verifies Age, Source and Process of Individual Cattle

Tri-Merit allows cattle producers to collect and certify information about individual animals. Animals that are age-, source- and process-verified yield higher potential premiums at sale time. Adding this data is a means of turning "generic" cattle into "brand-name" cattle, increasing their marketability and your reputation as a producer of quality livestock.

Tri-Merit is easy to implement, because it involves a facilitator (usually a veterinarian) who enters the data from records provided by the producer. When the animals are ready for market, the facilitator issues a certificate validating age, source and process. The certificate and the records travel with the cattle to the next owner.

Tri-Merit is a USDA process verified program and country of origin label (COOL) compliant. In addition, Tri-Merit can help you comply with National Animal Identification System (NAIS) requirements.

How Tri-Merit Works

  1. You (livestock producer) provide calf records to a Tri-Merit facilitator
  2. The facilitator enters the records into the Tri-Merit electronic data warehouse
    • Records can be updated as needed
    • Records are completely secure
    • Records are accessible only by the facilitator and producer
  3. When the calves are ready for market, the facilitator prints and signs a Tri-Merit certificate OR
  4. The facilitator can electronically transmit the records to the next owner
