Rather than packing as many features and databases as possible into one monolithic program with a price tag that few people are willing to pay, CompuSire has a modular design that enables owners and breeders to select and pay for only the features they need, depending on the extent or manner of their participation in the industry. The result is a substantially lower cost for the basic pedigree features. These features are all standard equipment with the CompuSire main module. Many people find the main module just the ticket for their research needs, but to others the various options are attractive, especially at their low prices. The first option to consider is CompuSire's annual stallion update , which provides current farm information for approximately 3000 stallions annually.
Some people purchase the update every year.
Some people want to base their pedigree research on six-generation printouts , so CompuSire offers that option. CompuSire also offers a facility for displaying and printing family tables . Moreover, CompuSire offers a database containing major auction results and programming to facilitate sophisticated commerical analysis. The Auctions module is maintained on an annual basis. The Peerage of Racehorses module is a computerized adaptation of Richard Ulbrich's book of the same name, offering his comments on-screen when you select the name of an ancestor.
