Cow Inventory


The Cow Inventory will list all cows currently active in the herd for that season / year.


If your Breed Society / Association uses an Inventory fee model, these are the Cows that will be charged for this year's inventory and prior to each calving season, a cow inventory will be made available to the breeder.  Otherwise the Cow Inventory will simply list all your registered Cows that are expected to calve for the season / year.


Cow inventories are expexted to be kept current and complete. A dam should be listed on the breeder's most current herd inventory in order to process their offspring's registration and weaning performance data.


Options for managing your Cow Inventory:


    1. Select disposal reasons for cows that you wish to remove from your cow inventory list.
    2. Add animals to your Cow Inventory if you find any missing e.g. Recently purchased animals that do not appear in your Cow Inventory.
    3. Update Cow Reproductive status if the Cow failed to calve this year / season.
