Tip of the Week
If you’re using the online registration service to enter ET calves and using first time recips, send us an email with the recip ident, year or DOB of the recip and her breed composition, before you submit the batch. Makes the import run more smoothly if the recip is already on file.
Recip idents should be your herd ident, followed by a zero for a base animal, then R for recip followed by her visual number – ie: ABC0R123
