Genetic evaluations
Meaning¶
Format 105's are used to release cow and does genetic evaluations (all except type traits).
Exchange protocol¶
CDCB releases this format 3 times a year, following the official release calendar . This file is public only for Elite and Top 5% cows.
Old (outdated) format¶
Location and details¶
Elite and Top 5% cows files are released compressed, encrypted and password-protected by 1 p.m., on the Friday prior to release date and placed in our public ftp at ftp://ftp.uscdcb.com/pub/bulls/ . The password to open the files is supplied at 7 a.m. on release day, in the file ftp://ftp.uscdcb.com/pub/password
Please note all files distributed by CDCB, have an LF (LINUX) End of Line (EOL) starting from September 2019. Prior to this date, zipped files had a DOS EOL.
