Farm IT Help - Individual Sheep Record

If you do individually tag your sheep you may record full details of the animals breeding, feeding, medical treatments and movement just as you can for Beef Cattle.

The individual sheep records are accessable from the tree view, or by finding the animal from the Sheep menu or toolbar short cut.

A typical sheep record would look as follows.

You may record movements, weights, feeding, medical treatments, medical test, breeding indexs, and lambing. Link lambs to Rams and Ewes and automatically add lambs as you enter lambing details for a ewe.

For full details see the  Animal Details Section and the details on lambing and breeding.

The tabs vary depending on the sex of the animal, for example females have a Lambing tab. The tabs are summarised as follows:

General - This displays general animal information, ear tag number, date of birth, purchase date, breed, sex, colour etc. The ear tag number and dates may not be changed in this view. (You may edit a ear tag number within the tree view, see "Changing an Ear Tag Number"

Movement History - For viewing the animal movement history and recording the death or loss of the animal.

MGR Group - Provides a list of management groups the animal is in.
