Pre-production testing of the BOLT evaluation system began in July. The testing process involves CSA sending weekly data updates including genomic information and receiving genetic evaluations back on a weekly basis. The testing represents the next steps in adding additional breeds//breed information into the BOLT evaluation at IGS.
NEW - THE Compliance Report
THE Compliance reports are designed to help remind you in one easy to access report of animals in your herd that may be missing some data.
An example report is shown here...
The report shows only those females in the cow herd with missing data. This means you do not have to sort through your entire group of cows to identify those that may have missed some key information. In this example, ABC 123D does not have a calf reported. We do not know if she lost the calf, never conceived or the calf just came on a busy day and was not reported. THE Compliance reports provides an easy, one stop reminder to identify missing information and ensure that full reporting is done without having to sort through the entire cow herd.
Reports can be accessed/printed from the online system at any time. Paper only clients should receive reporting in their fall packages, post-weaning.

A reminder to everyone exhibiting or selling Simmental cattle this fall, your animals must be registered with the CSA and have a legible tattoo. It is the
responsibility
of provincial associations and or sale mangers to ensure that registrations and tattoos are checked.
The 2018 Canadian National Simmental Show is taking place during the Manitoba AgEx October 24-27, 2018 in Brandon, Manitoba.
