Farm IT Help - Maintaining Your Flock Record

Maintaining Your Flock Record

If you have been farming sheep for any length of time you will no doubt be happily recording your information in an annual sheep flock record. We hope that by providing a similar format within FarmIT 3000 you find it easy to understand and see what is happening. You may also simply print out the sheep flock record in a similar format as your current manual form.

Initially no flock record will exist and you will be prompted to confirm opening numbers taken from the current flock summary. This will be repeated each year, the first time you run the program that year, the opening numbers being taken from the closing numbers of the previous year. You can modify these figures if incorrect but you may have to adjust the number of actual animals in the database manually.

Sheep Flock Register

You can open the register in one of three ways:
1. Access via Reports menu by selecting Reports - Farm Official Registers - Sheep - Sheep Movement Register.
2. Access via Sheep menu by selecting Sheep - Flock - Sheep Movement Register.
3. Simply double click on 'Sheep and Flocks' from the navigation tree. Sheep and Flocks icon

Adding Entries

To add a new entry to the flock record click on the 'Add Entry' at the top of the register.

This will display the main menu for adding births, movements and deaths for untagged animals.

Adding Flock Register Records

From this menu, all movements for an untagged flock should be entered.
