Book Description

Excerpt from Dairy Herd Improvement Letter, Vol. 48: September-October 1972 The types and frequencies of error or reject conditions noted in 1971 are shown in table 3. Missing identification numbers for sires of grade cows caused the most records to be rejected compared with in 1970; next in order was conflicting or questionable birth dates. These appeared times less than in 1970. The number of records for registered cows rejected because of a zero dam or sire number was -528 more than in 1970. The inclusion of blanks in the record and alphabetic characters in the two high-order positions of the sire number continued to decrease in 1971. Table 3 shows error conditions rather than the number of records in error. As many as four error conditions may be coded for a single record. This is reflected in the fact that the number of error conditions in table 3 is more than the number of records shown above as not being used for bull and cow evaluation. The records rejected during the main edit are returned to the appropriate processing center for correction.
