    The way the program will calculate the Sire is dependent on what data you have entered for each animal and joining. 



    If you are using the Calculate option select the relevant From Join option - For this to work, relevant joining's must be in Stockbook
    The 2nd-last (AI) refers to the second last joining in this period which is normally the AI joining.
    The Last (Backup)  refers to the last joining in this period which is normally a back-up bull, which has been used after any AI
            
If you are using the Defaults for Days/Weeks or Months you will enter the figure in the applicable field. This figure does not show in the table, however once you process the Pregnancy Test Event the information will record correctly against the animals.  
If you have Empty animals you need to record them with a '0' to record the Empty status. The Default will not override the '0'
