String Summaries are optional reports that are used to manage
Permanent Strings and Temporary Strings. If you have multiple breeds in
your herd or have multiple owners and you want to monitor groups
separately, Permanent String Summaries are an excellent option. If you
have a large herd divided into different groups with cows moving from
one group to another during their lactation, Temporary String Reports
are an easy-to-use tool for monitoring each group.

Permanent String Summary
The Permanent String Summary uses the same
design format
as the Herd Summary. AgSource members enrolled on the Permanent
String Summary Option receive a Summary for each of their
Permanent Strings and an overall Herd Summary that includes all
of their Permanent Strings. Offspring of cows in Permanent
Strings continue in the same strings, as well. Permanent String
Summaries are useful for herds having more than one owner, herds
with multiple breeds and for 4-H and FFA project animals/herds.

Summary, visit the Herd Summary in the Learning Center

Temporary String Summary
Temporary Strings are a great tool for larger herds having
groups of milking cows in different pens based on age, pregnancy
status, production or stage of lactation. Managers can easily
compare each group to other strings in the herd. Temporary
Strings are best suited where cows may be moved from one group
to another during their lactation. Permanent Strings are more
appropriate where cows are rarely or never moved during their
lifetimes. The Temporary String Summary is an optional report.
