12. Match the remaining rows with the correct drop down options. Cattle Max has more options than the format for RANCHR so not every row will need to have a drop down menu option selected. The following items can be matched in order to complete every option available:
ear_tag > ID/Tag
sex > Sex
breed_id > Breed (note: Cattle Max has this associated with a number instead of the breed name. You can manually change this later to the actual breed name if you wish)
purchased_from_id > Seller
purchase_price > Purchase Price
purchase_date > Purchase Date
birth_weight > Birth Weight
weening_weight > Weening Weight
yearling_weight > Yearling Weight
yearling_date > Yearling Date
13. Once all categories are matched, select "Review" in the lower right corner, then "Upload" when ready. The imported Cattle will now show on your "Cattle" tab. you can now manage and make changes to these as needed in RANCHR
