Option 1: Drag and Drop:
3) Drag and drop the CSV file from Aphis onto the AphisConverter.exe file
Option 2: Run Converter
3) Save the file as Aphis.csv. PLEASE, Don't use the sample file, or you'll import sample data.

5) Take the bovicows and bovievents file and import using the Herd Management Software import.
