Transferring Dams and Calves in same export

Summary

If someone is trying to export a group of animals to be transfered to another Stockbook, and is getting an error saying the dam eg.0123  is included in this transfer aswell. 

**The dam number below is just an example**

Detailed Description

Because Stockbook is a practical program. It will not allow calves to be added if their dams do not already exist. 

To avoid this problem, it is best to do two different exports; one for the dams and one for the calves.

When transfering and importing them to the new Stockbook, it is vital that the dams are imported first. So that the parentage exists  and are able to match up for when the calves are imported.

Steps. 

1. Export dams.

2. Export calves.

3. Import dams to other Stockbook.

4. Import calves to other stockbook

 

Exporting separately will avoid the error that woud be received if trying to export all together.
