  • Please call DRMS for assistance with installing your database.

• Dart prevents entering a calf index number that is a duplicate of a heifer or bull number in the system. If there is a cow that already has an index you would also like to use for a heifer, this is allowed.
  • When using quick entry, you will denote a cow with “+” and heifer with “-” (example: search 500+ for cow, 500- for heifer).
• Since there must be a unique identity for each record, numbers cannot be reused if there is still an active heifer or bull record with the same number in the database. A heifer index number can be reused after a heifer or bull calf has left the herd (marked as sold or died) and the herd has been processed.

If the data has not been processed:

1. Clicked Calved in the Input Desk.
2. Select the cow you would like to edit and click Apply Individually.
3. Click Delete.
   • To correct, click Edit and enter the correct calving information and click Done.
   • To delete the calving event entirely, click Exit.

If the data has been processed, please call DRMS for assistance.

• Your herd must be subscribed to Lab Pregnancy Results with a valid email in order to receive the files to download through Dart. Please call us to make sure you are subscribed.
