Herd organization

One place for each animal's record, work, and history

Find an animal by tag or secondary tag, then review identity, events, pending tasks, reproduction, weight, notes, and timeline in the same profile.

What do you record?

An animal profile is more than a list entry. It is the record behind daily work.

  • Tag, secondary tag, category, birth date, status, photo, and notes.
  • Vaccination, treatment, insemination, pregnancy, calving, dry-period, milk, and other events.
  • Pending tasks, reproduction summary, weight and growth details, and the timeline.
  • Filters, sorting, multi-selection, and bulk-work context within the herd view.

Work through the herd in three steps

Search, review, and record without losing the animal context.

Find the animal

Search by tag or secondary tag in the herd screen, then narrow the working group with filters and sorting.

Review the profile

Read pending work, recent events, reproduction summary, weight, notes, and the timeline alongside identity and status.

Attach the work

Add a new event through a quick action, or use multi-selection for a suitable bulk task or bulk vaccination.

What can you review later?

Each new entry adds context for later animal-level and herd-level checks.

  • Follow the animal's event order and prior operations on the timeline.
  • Return to pending work from the animal profile or the Tasks views.
  • Read reproduction, weight, and growth summaries against the same identity record.
  • Use Data Check to separate missing or conflicting herd records for review.

Operator notes

Bulk work saves steps, but the operator still needs to confirm the scope before saving.

Cow and herd tracking questions

Practical boundaries for search and bulk work.

Can I search by secondary tag?

Yes. Herd search supports both the primary tag and the secondary tag.

Can I create work for several animals at once?

Yes. Multi-selection supports bulk tasks and bulk vaccination; review the selection before confirmation.

Can I bring in an existing herd from Excel?

Yes. The guide's Excel flow accepts .xls and .xlsx files only, with a preview and plan-limit check.
