FORM 3 WEANING REPORT / YEARLING WORKSHEET
| GENERAL: | A | Complete the boxes as follows for each type of information. |
| B | Yearling information on your calf-crop is optional under the guidelines of Whole Herd TPR. However, if you report some yearling data, you must report for all animals of that sex from the calf-crop for it to contribute towards your herd's EPDs. Make sure to report either a yearling weight and date or disposal code for every calf of the same sex in this year and calving season's calf-crop. Failure to do so will prevent the yearling weights submitted from being used in EPD analyses until complete information it submitted. | |
