Software Tip:

Thirsting for Knowledge Thursday! Do you have Dairy Comp 305 or Scout, or are interested in learning more about dairy management software? Every Thursday Minnesota DHIA will be posting on our facebook page and website a software tip of the week. This week’s tip:

*, Duplicate, or Ditto Key

The * ,referred to in the software world as the ditto key, can be used when you have an event that happened to more than one cow that is exactly the same. On most standard keyboards the * is the shift key and the number 8. An example of this would be multiple cows on a timed AI program.

Cow ID                 Date Bred            Sire                       Tech

45                          5/15/15               7H08081                  1

84                          5/15/15               7H08081                  1

To use the * enter in the information on the first cow. Next type in the ID of the second cow, but DO NOT PRESS ENTER. Once highlighted hit the * and your event will be repeated.
