The Adelong Herd Management System
The Pedigree Module
Here are a couple of screen images produced by Pedigree.xls. The screen images are large and take time to load.  We
appreciate your patience.
The two different water marks suggest the print outs can
be used for different species; sheep, dogs, cattle, dairy
goats -- whatever animal you work with.

Each progenitor animal has 4 items of associated
information:

  • ID or Name
  • Breeder
  • Breeder Address
  • User Defined (default is Reg. # / Codon 171)

The legend in the upper left corner can be moved and
customized to fit individual needs.

The lower left corner has a Signature and Message area.
Both can be moved, sized or edited.

You can select color (background, text & border), font
(style & pitch), text alignment, add a shadow, replace text
with a picture or change the mouse pointer for any and all
text labels.

Program steps are fully error trapped with messages that
explain the problem -- if possible.

The help file is about 48 pages long, filled with screen
images and suggested exercises.  It is available for reading
with your choice; The Internet Explorer, Adobe Acrobat or
with Microsoft's Word.  Either version can be run from
within the program.

Fully customized forms that produce pedigrees are easy to
generate.  A step-by-step exercise in the help file walks
you through development of an 'Individual Ewe
Performance' data collection sheet.  A screen graphic of
the completed form is shown below.
