The CSV file that you will be importing should include the following information:

• Calf ID/tag
• Calf Sex
• Calf Date of Birth (D.O.B.)
• Recipient Cow (recip)/birthing dam ID
• Mating type (e.g. ET)

To import the information, it will need to be done in 2 steps:

1. Create animals import.
2. Add ET info import.

This is because when bringing in mating type, it can only be done for existing animals, not when adding the animals for the first time.
