The transfer of DNA cases from other labs has always taken longer than any other process from UCD. The transfer cases are basically at the "bottom of the stack" and they are processed in the order they are received. Legacy has always informed owners to expect at least a three week waiting period. It can be longer depending on the volume. . . . and I am sure there is a backlog right now.
It is the experience of Legacy that there is more to the processing of the cases than just transferring numbers into the system. Legacy has one case that is waiting for parentage verification and have been advised that it will be a while because of the backlog.

At the very least they should acknowledge receipt of reports and payment, as they do with every other test they do. Yet nowhere is it to be found. It wasn't until I called several weeks after the fact did I know my transfers had been received. My check was cashed weeks ago also. Don't get me wrong, UCD has been great with all my others tests. I just don't like the fact I've been put on their back burner with my transfers.

Barbara - - Neither YOU nor your herd in particular are on the "back burner". The transfer of all genotypes from other labs is the last order of business for all cases. New tests are a priority for the laboratory. Legacy just transferred hundreds of cases into direct accounts with the help of UCD personnel. There is no doubt a backlog of work currently at UCD and the transferred markers from other labs will come last behind all new testing. As soon as all the transfers and questions and phone calls ( and there are many) are caught up business will proceed as usual. We all experience times of busy-ness at various times in life. My own desk is divided into priorities. Some items of business are processed as soon after receipt as possible, others when time permits. Sometimes the things that are priortized to the bottom of the pile get buried even deeper when there is a surge in the workload. " This too shall pass". Soon, things will get back too normal.
ADCA members transferring DNA genotypes to UCD.>>>>> Legacy will transfer your genotypes on request for $2.00 each. If you would like to take advantage of this service just scan and email or copy and mail your DNA reports to Legacy. UCD is working to implement a new system for owners process these transfers online with the submission of the actual marker report but that system is not yet available. If you would like your animals or herd added for the discount price at this time contact Legacy. Needed: Copy of DNA markers and email address for your direct account.

Patti - There is no readily apparent reason you ( nor others) were not able to secure parent verifications using Ace of Clove Brook. Are you sure you were entering the case number properly? All Legacy case numbers must be entered with LEG and then the number. For Ace of Clove Brook enter : LEG280.
If there is still a issue, please send details of the error msg (include screen shot if possible) to Legacy so we can investigate and resolve.

That's when I started reading about how those who were now faced with the same problem in reverse were finding the going not to their liking. My immediate thought was, "Poor, sweet babies!" I really feel sorry for them. Really Genebo must you go there? Just reinforces that type of person I see you to be. You can't be happy that some of us are transferring our animals, instead you might as well say "I told you so" and most people take a comment like that negatively. Barb

Since the ADCA has UCDavis as one of the labs, and some people are new to the process and the UCDavis online site, it would be helpful if the ADCA or UCDavis would have some kind of tutorial for the steps involved in the use of their site.
For example...the "Send genotype and parentage information to the ADCA"...what does it actually do and are there any other steps required? Should this be done BEFORE entering the registration information for a bull calf? The other link is "Send marker report to TAMU" What purpose is this action for and is it necessary to register your bull or have parentage information displayed on the registry?
It's taken a bit for me to work through some of these things, with so many genotypes we've done recently, different sires, and with the numbers in both our herd to update in addition to new registrations.

I agree that it's confusing, lakeportfarms. Back in June I did a DIY post on my blog to help others navigate the morass of DNA testing and sending it off to TAMU. Here: zephyrhillfarm.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-order-genetic-testing-for-your.html Then we went to AGM and found out about UCD being added! The system is SO different, it was a bit of a struggle to figure it out, but I eventually did because I wanted to confirm some tests I'd had done at TAMU. Now I need to send tail hairs from a cow we bought to UCD to help out her former owner with genotyping her heifer, so maybe I need to drag out my camera and do another post! Unlike some of you, I do so few of these that I'm likely to need a refresher course by the next time I do it, so I guess I can check out my blog to remind me how!

Thanks, genebo, someone else had suggested Legacy to me. I had always thought it was only for cows that qualified (mine don't), but they clarified that anyone can register through Legacy. Knowing how easy it is to do this through UCD and Legacy makes me ready to switch over before I get any more animals! I like the idea of displaying the extra results that the ADCA doesn't display. I do know they're working on trying to put A2 results, and I hope they do that soon!

Legacy would like to remind all Dexter cattle owners that Legacy works for YOU!
The Legacy genotype registry is open to ALL. There is NO fee to add genotyped animals to the registry if ONLY an electronic file copy is sent In the near future there will be a fee of $5.00 to cover mailing costs ( you can always expect a little extra from Legacy!) for paper copies mailed to owners.
Currently both copies of the registration and obligate reports are sent by email.

I am dealing with this situation right now. I decided to pull tail hair on our bull, and submitt them to UCD. He was Genotyped at Texas A&M, or his line was, since he is G5. I am running the DNA test, do I also need to parent verification.? I would like to Genotype all of our calves right away, and he is our herd sire.

@cmorey, sorry it took me so long to answer. Our kids are here for the last time before they go to Korea for a year with the Air Force, and I didn't get on here until everyone went to bed. If your herd sire is G5, he is already PVd (Parent Verified, for anyone reading this who doesn't know). For the purpose of getting your calves PVd, all you need is to have his genotype on file with VGL. In the other thread where you asked about this (the scurs thread), I gave you a link to my blog post that has screen shots of how to order PV when you genotype an animal. However, since your sire is already PVd, you don't need to do it again. When you order his "DNA" (genotype) at VGL, do not click the box next to "Parent Verification." Just use the lower section "Parent Information." I'm assuming all your cows are already genotyped at VGL. So when your calves are born, that is when you'll follow the procedure I outline on the other thread. I hope this answers your question. If not, let me know and I'll try again.

What if Sire and Dam are not in VGL's database? They were genotyped at A&M.I don't have a case number. Cathy

I just reread what you wrote about not having to PV him. Thanks, Cathy
