✔ Does every cow you enrolled in your 2019 spring enrollment have a calf reported? If you want more detailed instructions on how to report your calf data online go to simmental.org.
✔ Do you have a dam that didn’t have a calf? You’ll need to report the reason she didn’t calve that season/year with a productivity code (but if you have calf data and the calf died during/after birth jump to the next checkmark)

Here is how to report a productivity code:

(A) Select the BrthDam tab.

(B) Input a code into the Productivity column that fits the reason the cow didn’t calve best. Hint: you can click on the column header for your list of codes.

(C) Input “2019” in the Productivity Year column.

✔ Is a calf removal code reported for all calves that died or were removed from the herd after birth and weaning?

Here is how to report a Calf Removal code:

(A) Make sure the Animal tab is selected (default tab)

(B) Input a code into the CalfRemoval column that fits the reason the calf is not in the herd any longer Hint: pay attention to pre and post weaning code options!

✔ Is all your 2018 calf data submitted? If all the data is not in, your account is considered to be in non-compliance and you will not be able to process any registrations/transfers until the data has been submitted.

Here is how you can find out if you’re missing any data:

(A) On Herdbook, place your cursor over Data Entry and select Online.

(B) Select Inventory and your calving season and year.

(C) Look for the THE Reporting bar. Is it below 100%?

(D) To see which cows you need a calf reported select Update 2018 - Spring Calves. This will load in your entire spring THE cow inventory and  calf crop. Look for any cows that were enrolled in the spring that are missing a calf or a productivity code (a reason she didn’t calve that season/year).  Don’t forget to use calf removal codes if a calf died or was removed after calving.
