    I think there is a short delay when registering online to allow for people to amend mistakes. Haven't had to make an amendment though so can't really comment.

    Now I think I remember how it works. Go into "awaiting registration" and delete the one with the mistake. Then re-register.

    Let us know if it works.

    Waste of a phone call - at least it was last year unless they've changed it. Made a similar mistake and was told that once I click submit I have to contact dvo to make any changes.

    That's funny. I registered 4 this evening and when I clicked in the delete registration the 4 of them were there. there must be a very short window for deleting them.

    If it got a whack, then it could be ok. It it sucked in, then you could be in trouble in the future. Are there reinforcing rings inside it? It may have just moved until it met the ring.

    I really dont know reilig. i called the contractor in to spread it until i investigate.

    but sure 50% of him or her is fresian anyway?? I really couldnt care less what is on the card aslong as the real life animal is right. have had a few transvestide cattle here aswell down through the years. Im all for equal rights, so never have done anything about it, thats the animals choice

    Any black limousins I had, they were always described as AAX on the card. A few pence extra per pound in the factory. I know, I know, ye will say its wrong, but shure, it's harmless after what has been exposed.

    Go to calving and generate a new calving report, the CI will be in the report.
