Setting up Society details - Stud Setup
Setting up a Stud
One of the benefits of Stockbook is that you are able to register seed
stock animals with breed societies. This Knowledge Base helps
you through the process of setting up Stockbook to ensure that you are
able to meet the respective cattle society requirements.
Setting up a Stud or multiple Studs linked to particular Societies.
One of the main benefits is that you can setup multiple Studs all linked to the one Society. Only the specific Studs setup within your database will be listed.
Step 1. Stud setup
- Select Setup
- Select Stud Details.
This will display a list of all of your active/enabled studs. If you wish to view any inactive studs, tick the Include Inactive box.
Step 2. Select Add to enter the stud
details
- Enter your stud name
- Enter the Society Email address. This will be used for any communication with the society in terms of electronic movement of registration details.
- Choose a Society from the dropdown menu
- Enter your Herd Ident. These characters are allocated to you by your society, and are used as the first part of the Society ID of any new animal that you enter into your system
- Enter the Correspondence/Membership number if relevant. This will allow correspondence between Breedplan and your society via this number; otherwise the Herd Ident. will be used
- Enter the Animal Name Prefix if allocated by your breed society. This is normally used as the first part of the name of any new animal that you enter into your system.
- This will be used as the first part of any new animal that you enter into your system.

Auto calculate Society Ids -
selecting this will add the Herd Ident. automatically to the society Id
of any new animal entered.
The birth year is based on the financial year,
i.e., the new year begins 01/07.It may be that you're on-farm
primary Id for each animal is not the same as that allocated by your
society. If this is the case, turn off this option by ticking this box. You
will then need to enter a society Id for each new animal entered. If you
don’t do this, the sire and dam identifications will be unknown when you
create progeny registrations to send to your society.
Use Society Ids as your on-farm tags
Remove leading zeros when calculating animal name, tattoo and Society Id - If you wish to remove the zeros from the front of the Primary Id that was entered on the current animal list, tick this box. Sometimes it is useful to see all the animals in tag order. To do this, filler zeros must be added at the front of lower number animals (eg 001, 002). The society however will more than likely not be able to use that system and the zeros must be removed before sending data.

Note: If you want to include one or more spaces at the end of
your chosen characters the last space should
be replaced by a ?? (E.g AA? will represent the
identification AA 123).
