You can download a free software trial, which is fully functional for 10 days.  After this time, the software reverts to a "read only" state. This means you can continue viewing all the screens, but not enter new data. If you would like an extended trial, please contact us.

If you have any problems downloading a trial, please let us know and we will send you a CD-ROM by post.

Demonstration data can also be downloaded for use during your evaluation period.  Instructions on loading the demonstration data are located in the brochure.  We can also offer a free conversion of your own herd data from the following sources:

• Datastream file (for herds milk recording with NMR or CIS).  This gives you the most comprehensive cattle database, including historical lactation data and youngstock
• CTS Cattle On Holding text file.  This is available to all Cattle Keepers via the CTS Website www.bcms.gov.uk.  The database created from this file will contain all animals on your holding, including Official Identity Number, Sex, Date of Birth, Breed, Genetic Dam (where the dam is also in the herd)
