## Quick Fill with Batch Entry

While using the Breeding Grid batch entry, users can streamline data entry by using the Quick Fill function key.

1. Enter the cow's ID in the first column.
2. Enter the SIRE, BC and TC for the first cow. 
3. Tap on **Fill** to enter the <u>same</u> SIRE, BC and/or TC for the remaining cows.&#x20;
4. Adjust any individual values that differ.

:::hint{type="success"}
💡**TIP:** **Fill** works well when the cows added to the breeding grid were bred to the same sire, received the same breeding code or were bred by the same technician. Users can use the **Fill** function for only one column if needed.&#x20;

For example, the cows entered on the breeding grid were all bred by the same technician, but different sires and breeding codes were used. The user would only tap on **Fill** after entering the technician for the first cow.
