Import EID Pairs

Import EID Pairs

When buying eartag-EID sequences, the tag supplier generally will or can provide you with a CSV file of the eartag and EID pairs.  You can import this file with the sequence of numbers into BoviSync. BoviSync will then automatically assign the EID for new calves (and hide the EID field), update missing tags if you get the file in late, and provide a summary page that displays inventory numbers of available/used tags. If your tag supplier did not provide you file a pair file, click here to create your own file.
