A 'data extraction' collates and exports all of your herd information on all your animals plus a few generations of pedigree and their related data such as weight and trait submissions to BREEDPLAN, registration information, and much more, allowing you to get up and running quickly with your entire livestock and pedigree history.
This information can be imported into HerdMASTER or other herd management software packages to give you access to all that data, instead of manual entry or importing lots of different files.
