Holstein Association USA is offering a new service to diaryman. It’s the Pedigree Planner.

The online program allows breeders to order pedigrees for embryos or planned matings. The Pedigree Planner gives dairymen the opportunity to see the pedigree of a planned mating. Users can enter up to five different sires for the planned mating, choosing from the top 100 TPI list, or by entering the sire’s registration or NAAB number. For $1 per mating, the Pedigree Planner will list the unborn animal’s projected TPI and parent averages. For an additional $4, users can print a three-generation pedigree immediately.
