How to electronically submit your on-line sale catalog information to the AHA
Internet users, take advantage of sending on-line sale catalog information electronically to AHA. Electronic transfer of registration numbers, footnotes and pictures allows for faster turn around time meaning your sale catalog will be posted on the web in a more timely manner and it is also more economical to send the information electronically rather than through the mail or fax.
To submit information electronically, you will need to download the sale catalog template file found below. This can be downloaded as a Microsoft Excel or Lotus spreadsheet.

For instance to enter the sale title, click on the field that says "Enter the title of your sale here", and type the information in that field. Please enter all of each type of information in a single field. Once you have entered all of your information, the field will automatically expand to accommodate everything you entered. If you have any additional types of information that not category is provided for, pleas feel free to insert additional lines where you feel necessary and enter the appropriate data.
When entering the sale lots and reference sires a lot number and registration number is required. Up to 50 words of footnotes may also be included for each lot, but is not required. If you need to input more that 10 reference sires, feel free to insert additional lines in the reference sire area as needed. Reference sires will be charged at the same rate as regular sale lots in your catalog.
