Recently members were sent Herd Inventory Listing of their current Herd. The purpose of the Inventory listing is to get an accurate measure of members current active animals. Members may mark animals as being dead or sold for slaughter through our web site. The process is similar to the online registrations, where animals are done in a batch.

  5. Click on the “Add” button. This is where the animal status details are entered.

    • If the animal is an Appendix cow or Bull you will need to click on the drop down box and change it to the appropriate selection. Also, only enter the Appendix Herdbook number (do not enter App1, App2, etc.)
       
  6. Once you have entered the details click on the “Go” button near the bottom of the page. A check of your animal status details will then occur.
     
  7. The batch summary page will re-appear.
    • If the Status of the animal has "Fatal Errors" there has been errors in the animal validation. You will need to click on the "Edit" to view details entered. The error will appear in Red, the error will need to be corrected.
      • If you are unable to remove an error, even after amending information, you should delete the record entirely before completing the batch and contact Holstein Australia at a later time to arrange for the animal’s registration.
    • If the Status of the animal has "Validated" the animal details have been entered correctly. From here you may add more animal status details by clicking on the "Add" button.
      If you want to check on an animal which you have entered or edit the information in a record, simply click on the "Edit " on the left side of the screen to bring up the individual animal details.
