Australian Wagyu Association (AUWA)

Australian Wagyu Association (AUWA) Interface with CattleMax

As a registered plan CattleMax customer and member of the Australian Wagyu Association, you can save yourself time and effort by importing your breed association EBVs directly into CattleMax.  

Important Items to Note:

• If importing records, please wait until the import process is complete before entering any records into your CattleMax Online account.
• Do not open any files from the association prior to importing them into CattleMax as this will likely lead to information being imported incorrectly.  If you have opened it, please re-download the file and start the process again with the re-downloaded file.
• If you are not able to see the option for entering a registration number on an individual animal, please update your account settings. (Customizing CattleMax / Account Settings - click here.)

How do I obtain the file from the Breed Association for import into CattleMax? 

The Australian Wagyu Association asks that you as the member contact and request the EBV file direct from the association. You will need to provide your Breed Association membership number.

I have the unopened EBV file. Now what?

1. Open your CattleMax account.
2. Click on the Cattle tab at the top > View All Groups and Interfaces.
3. Choose your breed association name from under the Breed Interfaces section or if you do not see it here then you need to set-up the respective breed interface in CattleMax. Enabling Breed Association Interfaces - click here.
4. Be sure to notice the file format. To import properly, your file must be in the format shown in CattleMax.
5. Click browse then select the file you saved to your computer (NOTE: Do not import a file that has been opened.)
6. Click Import Animals to finish the task.
7. NOTE: If importing records, please wait until the import is complete before entering any records into your CattleMax Account. If you do happen to have cattle already in the account, be sure each of those registered animals has the correct registration number entered in CattleMax to match the import registration number.
