I'm in Lancashire, and they're dairy breeds, mainly holstein freisian

Likely to produce a sheet on black unless they are red and white holsteins.
Does your herd management software recognise LV Somerset project LVSP on CTS or would you have to enter the breed code by logging on to CTS directly?
Alternatively you could have some sport with BCMS by requesting a breed code for your Lancashire Sheeted calves.
The Sheeted Somerset Cattle Society is now into its sixth year of our battle with the faceless bureaucrats that staff FAnGR to have our breed recognised by the desk jockeys

Apart from @Henarar @farmerclare and @I thats it who else is using Lakenvelder straws and in what systems.
Perhaps the question should be how many of us are lucky enough to deal with Philip Naylor!
