Creating a Working

Create a working to plan and organize an upcoming herd processing session.

How to Create a Working

1. Navigate to the Workings screen.
2. Click Add Working.
3. Fill in the working details:
   • Name — A descriptive name (e.g., “Spring Vaccination 2026” or “Weaning Day Processing”).
   • Working Date — The planned date for the working.
   • Location (optional) — Where the working will take place.
   • Note (optional) — Any additional details about the working.
4. Add animals to the working:
   • From groups — Select one or more groups to add all their animals.
   • From pastures — Select pastures to add animals currently assigned there.
   • Individually — Search for and add specific animals.
5. Click Save.

After Creation

The working is created in Draft status. You can:

• Add or remove animals.
• Define tasks (see Defining Tasks for a Working).
• Start the working when you’re ready to begin processing.

Tips

• Plan ahead. Create the working and add animals a day or two before the actual processing date.
• Use groups for efficiency. If you have a smart group for the animals you need to process, adding the group pulls in all matching animals automatically.
