On one side all their ancestors, on both mother s and father s sides, are listed, going back to their great-grandparents. On the other side is the valuation from the cattle show. The milk yield and the fat and protein content of the milk for each year is also shown.

The samples are then analysed in a laboratory and the results are shown on the cow s identity papers.
