OA	First generation grade up animals. Only females can have registry status OA. These animals are currently identified with registration numbers in the 369 series.
PR	Second generation grade up animals. Only females can have registry status PR. These animals are currently identified with registration numbers in the 379 series.
HR	Fully registered males and females. Third generation grade up animals will also contain an "HR" registry status.

Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders Association
RF	Initial grade up animal. Only females are eligible for this program. One parent must be a registered Brown Swiss and the second parent can be any dairy animal. Thus, these may be crossbred animals but will be at least 50% Brown Swiss. Please note that not all animals must start with this step, as characteristic grade Brown Swiss may go directly into the ID step.
ID(R)	Will be the next step which may be either (a) an offspring (IDR) of a RF dam and a registered Brown Swiss sire or may be (b) an identified and inspected grade Brown Swiss (ID) (original animal) possessing typical Brown Swiss color and characteristics. These females (b) would have either unknown Brown Swiss parents or may have one registered parent. Only females are eligible for this program step.
IE	Will be the next step which will always have an ID or IDR dam and a registered Brown Swiss sire. Again only females are eligible for this step.
HR	Will be for fully registered animals. The dam may be either an IE or HR registry status animal. If the dam is an IE, only female offspring may be registered and they will carry a CIE prefix. The sire will always be HR status and Brown Swiss.
NOTE: All registration levels now use the same registration numbering system. Animals assinged numbers by Brown Swiss have an eight digit American ID number beginning with 68xxxxxx. Other official AIN numbering series assigned to other breeds as well as the 840 RFID numbers are acceptable.
