In the hopes that someone from AHA reads this board from time to time... We REALLY need a reliable form of searching animals, pedigrees, EPDs, etc. etc. Like its really non-negotiable. Its the most basic function of a breed association. Herfnet is either down or will go down whenever I use it. And don't even get me started on whatever the h3ll MyHerd is. I am convinced the average college kid in a computer science program could come up with something better. I'm so frustrated at 9PM on a Friday night trying to get stuff together before this group of cows start calving and I can't even access any of their pedigrees. Maybe I should just switch to a breed that actually let's me access their herd book, and oh by the way, I'd probably have to deal with so many fewer cases of cancer eye and prolapse that inevitably pop up in every group of Herefords I ever buy  . |

I would think u could stay away from the lines that prolapse and have cancer eye really easily. U sure its not environmental or nutrition

Have you tried going straight to hereford.org, then to genetics and epd search as a guest? It will be down occasionally but usually works for us.

It is spotty but if you give it 10 minutes it usually comes back up. I agree that not searchable and sortable fields in myherd is also a major problem. You can however search myherd if you know enough about the animal. I don't find myherd as easy to search as Herfnet. |

I would like to be able to search for animals based on number and breeder.

I would like to be able to search for animals based on number and breeder. I would like to literally just SEARCH for animals. What a joke. Trying to make breeding decisions and I, again, do not have a reliable way to search pedigrees, EPDS, performance pedigrees, etc. Really, how is this going on unaddressed? What is the point of my AHA dues and registration fees if I can't actually access the animal I registered. Server Error 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. |

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. They are testing a new system within MyHerd that will supposedly be an upgrade to HerfNet. A number of breeders have been given access, myself included, in order to test it but I haven’t found the time to try it out yet. I’ll try to make time this evening and report my findings here. |

I also got an email about beta testing some new features, I'd not bothered looking at it because I don't use it that often. Looked back at it yesterday evening to see what it was about, don't think it as anything to do with lcc problem of not being able to access the server when he'd like too.

It is my understanding that Herfnet will be phased out once the beta testing is complete. MyHerd will be the only show in town at some point. |

Noticed Herfnet was down again today. Lol. They didn’t invite me to test the beta version but the regular MyHerd deal for registering cattle is a bad joke. I probably piss old Stacey off at AHA because I’m not shy about emailing him and asking questions and telling him how bad it is. I use myriad web based interface systems for data submission in my work as a CPA. A system should NOT be as clunky and in user friendly as the current myherd system is. It’s a bad joke.

Its down again this morning too. And not to keep belaboring a point, but MyHerd is a really bad. Like really, really bad. How does AHA not see this? For those of you who are using the Beta system: Are all of the same features still there? Can you search progeny, performance pedigrees, etc? I have a "beta search" tab, but whenever I search nothing ever loads or populates. Has AHA provided any update on this to the broader membership? Surely I can't be the only one who thinks this is a big deal? Again, I love Herefords, but I really don't want to raise a breed of registered cattle that doesn't have a reliable way to search pedigrees and performance information [literally the 1 reason a breed assoc/registry exists]. Some of us have more comprehensive goals than just having a half hereford win Fort Worth. |

Here's what the beta search does, copied from the email I got about testing.  |

I'd like to know why Herfnet shows the DNA test results for defects and H/P but MyHerd won't/can't? How can we stay away from bloodlines that have known or possible defects if we can't see which animals are which?

EPD enquiry under "links" on My Herd takes you Herfnet epd search, choose whatever abnormality list you want to see. |

So by this reasoning the Herfnet website will still have to be maintained, right?

I forgot about the "beta" version of MyHerd, I just looked the genetic abnormality list are on there under Beta search, so I assume when release the full version they won't need Herfnet. I like Herfnet much easier to use to me for the little I do on it. |

I like Herfnet much easier to use to me for the little I do on it. I want to find an animal and see the results of it's testing or it's "P" status. Having to then go over to Herfnet and search the same animal makes it twice as time consuming and less user friendly. |
