Moving Animals Between Groups

You can move animals from one static group to another in a single action, rather than removing them from one group and adding them to another separately.

How to Move Animals

  1. Navigate to the Group containing the animals you want to move.
  2. Select the animals you want to move.
  3. Click Move (or Bulk Actions > Move Animals).
  4. Select the destination group from the list.
  5. Confirm the move.

What Happens

  • The selected animals are removed from the current group and added to the destination group.
  • All animal records remain unchanged — only group membership is updated.
  • The animal counts on both groups update immediately.

Move vs. Add

ActionResult
MoveAnimal leaves the source group and joins the destination group.
Add to GroupAnimal is added to a new group but remains in its current groups too.

Use Move when the animal should only be in one group (e.g., moving from one pen to another). Use Add when the animal should belong to multiple groups simultaneously.

Tips

  • Use groups to represent physical locations. Moving animals between groups mirrors physical pen or pasture changes.
  • Move in bulk. Select multiple animals to move an entire batch at once, such as when sorting animals after a working.
