How to record prior to registration tutorial video.
Not every calf that is born is destined to be registered, for a whole heap of reasons, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be recorded.
An important feature of the CGen software is the ability to record calves prior to their registration (if required.) The CGen platform allows breeders to record calves without registering them. Whilst any details that are added for a recorded calf, such as phenotypes and genotypes, will be used in the weekly IGS evaluation, including genomics, recorded calves are not able to be viewed on the public website and only show in the breeder online section.
This allows breeders to keep a full record of every calf born (alive or dead), which is a great way to manage the information, but only they have access to the records. Then, when a breeder wishes to register a recorded calf, they can do that themselves easily from the online section.

Recording calves is easy and only requires limited details compared to registrations. Breeders can easily register recorded calves whenever they choose, particularly given that CGen is a live platform, so registrations are instantly available on the public website.
