Marking an Animal as Sold

When you sell an animal, mark it as sold to record the sale details and update its status. Sale records can also be linked to the financial system via sale tickets.

How to Mark an Animal as Sold

  1. Open the animal’s record.
  2. Click Actions > Mark as Sold.
  3. Fill in the sale details:
    • Date Sold — The date of the sale.
    • Price Method — Choose how the price is calculated:
      • Weight ($/lb) — Price per pound multiplied by sale weight.
      • CWT ($/cwt) — Price per hundredweight multiplied by sale weight.
      • Total Price — A flat total sale price.
    • Price Per Lb — The price per pound (if using weight method).
    • Sale Weight — The weight at time of sale.
    • Sale Price — The total sale price.
  4. Click Save.

What Happens

  • The animal’s status changes to Sold.
  • The sale date, price, and weight are recorded on the animal’s record.
  • If a sale ticket is created, it links to the financial system as an income transaction.

Bulk Sales

You can also sell multiple animals at once using Bulk Actions > Submit Sale. This lets you select a group of animals and record the sale as a batch, with options for lot-based pricing and sale barn fees.

Tips

  • Record sale weight. Even if you use a total price method, recording the sale weight is valuable for market comparison.
  • Create a sale ticket. Sale tickets automatically appear in financials, making it easy to track revenue without manual data entry.
