Notes
Data Type:	CH- alpha numeric CSL - Numeric Signed with sign in front of number with leading spaces.
Format:	c - alpha numeric data n - numeric data only with leading spaces
January, 1997	Updated to include Registered Holstein Ancestry (RHA) Updated to include TriStar Production Records programs and data collection ratings. (* = Premier, = Deluxe, * = Custom)
August, 1998	Updated registration number fields to contain leading zeros. Updated all dates to be YYYYMM or YYYYMMDD. Milk and Protein Reliability have both been replaced with Yield Reliability. Updated registration numbers to be zero filled and the date of birth to be YYYYMMDD.
July, 2000	Inserted PL and SCS for Subject Cow, Sire, MG Sire and Dam Changed the TriStar labels to be * = Premier, = Deluxe and * = Custom Updated the zip code to incorporate format nnnnn-nnnn Added crude protein to all production records.
March, 2001	Corrected PAT to be 5, sn.nn
February, 2005	Added Date of Classification (1) for Subject Animal, and Dam. Added Dairy Form, Daughter Pregnancy Rate and Daughter Calving Ease for all generations
August, 2013	Calving Ease traits reported as xx.x instead of xx.
December, 2015	Added Heifer and Cow Conception Rate, Fertility Index (FI), FI reliability, Feed Efficiency (FE) and FE reliability for all generations
(1) Improved Major Breakdowns implemented on December 1, 2004. New breakdowns are Front End / Capacity; Dairy Strength; Rump; Feet & Legs and Udder. Prior to this date, Major Breakdowns were Frame; Dairy Character; Body Capacity; Feet & Legs; and Udder. If Feet & Legs is blank, then cow was scored prior to May, 1993 using the four major breakdown system. If this is the case, interpret Front End/Capacity as General Appearance.
