Automate your registrations at no extra cost
Avoid torturous data entry. Have HA staff compile your registrations automatically, according to your own registration criteria. We’ll send you a list of animals that meet your registration criteria at the time intervals you nominate. Once you approve your animal list, they’ll be registered and entered into the herd book.
EasyReg is charged at Holstein Australia's online registration rate, which is our lowest registration fee. The fee, including any bulk discounts will appear on your account at the end of the month in which animals are registered.
EasyReg Sign Up Form Case Study: The Pearson Family
How does EasyReg work?
EasyReg will work differently for each member, with Holstein Australia following guidelines you establish with us for your herd.
The key things we need to know are:
- How you record your data
- How you name your cattle
- Any specific registration criteria you have
Animal data
Holstein Australia can access the data required to register animals from a number of service providers including Easy Dairy, Mistro, herd test centres and many more. If you genomically test your animals, we will already have the required information for registering your animals.
Animal names
Most breeders follow a similar convention when naming animals – prefix name followed by animal name followed by a name suffix, often the sire name and a number reference. But no two members are the same, there are always variations, for example some members include a tattoo reference or month / year letter, some a separate identification number. Once we understand your naming process, Holstein Australia can follow the same pattern for all the animals you register.
Registration criteria
Most members have a set registration criteria. We will need to know what this is for each member using the EasyReg service. For example, do you register all calves our of registered dams? If you genomically test your animals, do you register all heifers above a set BPI level? Do you only register animals above a set appendix level? Or is there a set animal age or date during the year where you register all animals that meet your own criteria?
Making EasyReg work for you
We’ve made this easy too! All you need to do is complete the sign up form and hit submit. We'll then contact you to set up the registration process and animal criteria that works for you and your business.
