## <font color="#882255">~~**1**~~</font> Breeding Outcomes

**P&#x20;**= The breeding resulted in a pregnancy.

**O** = The cow did not settle to the breeding and was found open or had a repeat breeding.

**A** = The cow settled to the breeding but later aborted.

**R&#x20;**= A second BRED event was entered within 48 hours.

- The letter A is the outcome for the 8/4/25 breeding as an ABORT event was entered on 10/14/25.
- The letter R is the outcome for the 10/15/25 breeding as another BRED event was entered the next day.
- The letter O is the outcome for the 10/16/25 and 11/3/25 breedings as the cow was bred again.
- The letter P is the outcome for the 11/25/25 breeding as the cow was declared pregnant on 1/08/25.&#x20;

## <font color="#882255">~~**2**~~ </font>Technician Number

The number 26 is the technician number entered with the BRED event on 8/4/25. This cow was later bred by:

- Technician 27 on 10/15/25 and 10/16/25
- Technician 26 on 11/3/25
- Technician 28 on 11/25/25

## <font color="#882255">~~**3**~~ </font>Breeding Code

The letters T, S and G displayed after the technician numbers are the breeding codes entered with the BRED event. For this example, the farm used these breeding codes:

- T = TAI (Ovsynch)
- S = Standing heat
- G = Activity System
