AI joining programme

Females and bulls come from your saved herd. Each female is matched to the bull giving the best predicted offspring, weighted MS 45% / MF 30% / CW 15% / BFI 10%. A cow is never joined to her own sire.

Joinings per bull

Blank for no limit

Restrict to AI sires (optional)

Comma-separated AWA idents. Overrides sex — some AI sires are registered Female with the AWA.

Semen tank joining matcher

Same matching, but the straws you actually hold are the limit. Upload your tank inventory alongside the AWA exports and no bull is used beyond his straw count.

Feed

Record what a mob was fed, so it can be read back against how those same cattle graded. Nothing is predicted from this yet — see the note below.

Notes

Predicting marbling from a ration needs either published feeding-trial coefficients or enough of your own records to fit a curve. Neither exists yet, so this screen records rather than forecasts. Once there are feed records sitting against kill results, the prediction becomes real — and it becomes something the breed-society tools cannot answer.
