Transferring dams and calves in same export

Transferring dams and calves in same export


If someone is trying to export a group of animals to be transferred to another Stockbook, and is getting an error saying the dam eg.0123 is included in this transfer as well. 

**The dam number below is just an example**

Because Stockbook is a practical program. It will not allow calves to be added if their dams do not already exist. 
To avoid this problem, it is best to do two different exports; one for the dams and one for the calves.

When transferring and importing them to the new Stockbook, it is vital that the dams are imported first. So that the parentage exists and are able to match up for when the calves are imported.

Step 1. Export dams

Step 2. Export calves

Step 3. Import dams to other Stockbook

Step 4. Import calves to other Stockbook

 
Exporting separately will avoid the error that would be received if trying to export all together.
