*Animals must be on file with ASA to appear on the barn sheet.*
A barn sheet is a worksheet designed to help collect data at chute side. When you submit your request for a barn sheet, the lab will receive a copy of the barn sheet and they usually forward to the technician. This allows the technician to have the registration numbers of the animals at the time of scanning. If animals are NOT in our system, we cannot upload the animals ultrasound data.
Once scanning is completed, you now have collected weights and possible other measurements that are recorded on the barn sheet. Because ASA does not receive a copy of the barnsheet with the data collected, you are welcome to enter the data online or you can forward a copy of the barn sheet to ASA and notify us what data you want entered into the database. Ultrasound weights are not uploaded as yearling data unless requested.
