Use the Update Pedigree button to open a side panel that allows you to update the animal's dam, sire, maternal grandsire, and great grandsire.

Use the Dam's Lactations table to determine how well the animal's dam performed in each lactation. It contains some of the most important milking-related statistics for each of the animal's lactations, allowing you to gauge its lifetime production rates at a glance.

• Hover over any abbreviation to view the definition in a pop-up tooltip.
• The Total row at the bottom of the table shows how much milk (TOTM Total milk this lactation), fat (TOTF Total fat this lactation), and protein (TOTP Total protein/solids not fat this lactation) the animal has produced across all lactations.
• You can compare the animal's milk production to the herd's average milking total (305ME 305 day mature herd equivalent).

The Offspring table contains calf records where you can view parent's offspring and the Sire.

• You can click on an ID in the table to open a side panel and view offspring details.

Interactive column headers allow you to arrange the data into a way that's most useful to you. Depending on the features available for each column, you can add new columns of data, rearrange and reorder them, and filter some columns. To access these features, click on the column menu in the column you want to change.



The top menu can contain three different options—one for resizing the column, one for filtering the data displayed in the column, and one for controlling which columns are displayed. Each menu contains various ways for manipulating what's shown on the page.

Expand the sections below to learn more:

Filter Columns

Columns that contain numeric values can be filtered to show only certain data. For example, to filter the Lactation column so that only animals with a lactation value of 3 display, click the filter option, and then use the fields to create your filter.



Reorder Columns

You can reorder the way columns display by clicking in the header of the column you want to move and dragging it to its new location.

Change which Columns to Display

To add or remove columns from the page, click the columns option and then check or uncheck the boxes to select which columns to display.



You can also remove columns by clicking on the header of the column you want to remove, holding down the mouse key, and dragging the column up and out of the table.

While the Pedigree tab primarily provides dam and sire information, you can view a list of a dam's calves in the Events tab.

In the Events tab of a dam's CowCard, click on a FRESH event to open a side panel and view its details.

The event details include a list of calves that were delivered during the event. Click any calf's ID to go to its CowCard.

For more information about the Events tab, see Events.
